In anticipation of these debates I wrote a vanity,Trump's Ponzi Bubble which predicted:

Most likely, the upcoming debates will not derail Trump's circus, it is still too early in the media cycle bubble, but it will begin the process.

Trump's media circus has begun the process of coming off the rails.

“Trump’s media circus has begun the process of coming off the rails.”

Only in your wet dreams.

I sincerely hope you are right.

Here's the big problem (as I see it):

Many Americans (many right in this forum, not you) are addicted to amusement*. Their's is a "Reality TV" world. Their attention lasts only a few seconds and then they're off to another amusement. Their thoughts are controlled by their appetite for entertainment.

I have been fooled, too. I thought that conservatives were independent thinkers. Many are. But many are only going on a conservative ride (as in an amusement park). I am surprised how many are so eagerly chasing a man of such low caliber. They are not thinking at all.

They are not thinking past the moment. They are not considering more than their immediate gratification (revenge, base instincts, lust, etc). Look at their crude language right here in this thread.

Instead of supporting someone with time-tested moral fiber, whose character meets a high standard, they are willing to run after someone who amuses them with his showmanship. They are fools. They are suckers.

I am ashamed of many posters in this thread.

*amuse (v.) "to divert the attention, beguile, delude," from Middle French amuser "divert, cause to muse," from a "at, to" (but here probably a causal prefix) + muser "ponder, stare fixedly" (see muse (v.)). Sense of "divert from serious business, tickle the fancy of" is recorded from 1630s, but through 18c. the primary meaning was "deceive, cheat" by first occupying the attention. Bemuse retains more of the original meaning. Related: Amused; amusing.
