Who needs Neil Young when you have the guy who sung the Karate Kid song on your side?

http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2015/08/12/youre-the-best-around-singer-joe-esposito-weighs-in-on-trump-using-his-anthem/

Singer Joe Esposito weighed in with CBS Detroit on Trump’s use of his tune from the 1984 smash hit “Karate Kid.”

“A friend of mine contacted me last week and I think when he went to Iowa he used it then too,” Esposito said.

Esposito was tickled pink the real estate baron, reality TV star and current front runner for the Republican presidential nomination is using his anthem as his stage music.

“I was aware that he used it one time, and now more? Wow,” he said.

Their body language gives it away. These aren't all slavish devotees to their Führer--they're people observing the circus, and recording it. That support is a mile wide but only a half inch deep. It'll evaporate before too long I think.
