Turmped out

While I don't consider myself a hardcore political junkie, I am probably better informed about politics in the US than most Americans and I have gone into Trump overload.   Virtually every media outlet is all Donald, all the time.   Since no one knows what egregious blather will emanate from his piehole on any given hour, hordes of reporters follow his every move and are usually rewarded with a juicy soundbite calculated to piss off another candidate and provoke another reaction.  He really has sucked all the oxygen out of the Republican race and has even sabotaged the GOP reaction to the Iranian negotiations and other issues the House and Senate leaders hoped to use to stymie Obama's final years as President.  There is even a conspiracy theory that Trump is really a Hillary supporter who may even launch a third party candidacy to ensure her election in 2016!   Finally, a "vast left wing conspiracy".   Just the thing to think about as I try to kill weeds in the gardens between the near constant showers here on the NCR.   I can deal with more of the Donald as long as it discomfits his fellow inhabitants of the Clown Car.
