I was just watching some brief snippets of the 4th Republican debate on the news and, well...
Here is my own personal crackpot theory as to why Donald Trump is somehow still in the running for the nomination as the Republican candidate for President of the United States of America.
My theory is that this is all a calculated ploy by the GOP as a whole, Trump fully in collusion, with the goal of trying to make all of the other potential nominees look more sane/less annoying/less asinine/less scary by comparison. The longer Donald Trump remains in the running, and continues running his big, stupid mouth as he is wont to do, the more likely people in general will be to accept Ben Carson or Jeb Bush or Carly Fiorina or whoever it is that will actually end up winning the Republican nomination. "Well, at least that one isn't Donald Trump."
Because that sure beats the alternative of Donald Trump himself, by some stroke of evil fate, somehow becoming the next President of the USA. If that were to actually happen, well...
What Trump did to Vince McMahon in that clip is what he'll do to America if he wins. I.e. he'll clumsily knock it down, rain a few weak and ineffectual punches on it, and then smugly shave its head, leaving it humiliated in front of the entire world. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
America, with Trump as President: "I don't deserve this! I don't deserve this, dammit! No, don't do this to me! I'm begging you, no! Oh God no! No, my God no!" (EDIT) Then again, if the majority of Americans (or even a minority of Americans) successfully vote Trump in as President, then I guess we actually will deserve it. :/ And here's the really scary thing... as of right now, Trump is the goddamn GOP front-runner. ಠ_ಠ (/EDIT)
With all of that said, though, no amount of Donald Trump buffoonery will make guys like Rick Perry or Rick Santorum or Ted Cruz more palatable, but then those guys already have even less of a chance than Trump of winning, so I guess it doesn't much matter.
(Eh, I suppose I should apologize for equating the USA with fucking Vince McMahon of all people in the above scenario, but... well... it's not actually an entirely inappropriate comparison, truth be told... ¬_¬)
(EDIT 2) Hey, past me, guess who is the goddamned motherfucking President of the United States of America now? Jesus fucking wept. (/EDIT 2)
