I guess I'm one of those viewers driving the Trump coverage. I love hearing about his latest over the top comments and petty celebrity feuds. He's an arrogant, insecure asshole but I'm thoroughly entertained and constantly wondering if he's a mole. "TEN BILLION DOLLARS!!11"

that makes them stand out in my mind. The dyed-in-the-wool jebus-wheezers seem truly alien, in every sense, like people from the planet Zorgax, at least to me. That's probably why I find them so impossibly funny. Palin is a near-miss in that respect.

Trump is just a rich, mean version of a Kramden/Flintstone blowhard idiot.

He was such a delusional bubble-dweller that he actually thought he was going to win (despite all the non-right-wing polling) and he didn't prepare a concession speech.

Woosh over his head.
