The PuriCons, those high priests of religious and conservative purity, tell me that Ted is just like Ronald Reagan. Except nobody really likes him, but shut your mouth you infidel because the reason nobody likes him is because he is just like Reagan and everybody liked Reagan. No wait, that doesn’t work...
In the age of mass marketing and mass media, Trump is ascendant because he knows how it works and has mastered it. The PuriCons can piss and moan all they want, but the train has already left the station.
Go Trump
Right now many people are in the denial stage. “Trump isn’t real. People supporting him are not going to vote, or are stupid, mislead, liars, you know, not conservative.”
After Trump wins Super Tuesday on 1 March, a lot of this changes to extreme anger, but it will be much less hopeful.
After Trump wins a few more elections, will come bargaining.... “Why doesn’t he hand the reins over to a real conservative? He’s made his point.”
And after a few more elections, will come depression. “Trump is going to win. We are doomed.”
Finally, by the time of the Convention will come acceptance.
