Related: About this forumFilm Theory: How Trump is Winning with Reality TV
&feature=youtu.beWhen you think of the 2016 Presidential campaign, one name comes to mind - TRUMP. Every day, news stories come out about his inflammatory comments, his stubborn, unapologetic debate strategy...and that's EXACTLY the way he wants it. Trump is no traditional politician; his tactics come from somewhere else, and that place is REALITY TV. Trump's long history in reality television has given him the perfect strategic edge in the political arena, and so far he's winning the game of political Survivor that is the 2016 presidential race.

networks do the thinking, feeling and action for themselves.
This is even below low intelligence voters, this is giving over your government to shiny objects.
These voters aren't mad, they are hypnotized.

This is why the average DUer sounds like a genius compared to Mr. and Mrs. Palin, right?
