Lady & The Trump

Donald Trump “sealed the deal” Thursday when his delegate count pushed over the magic number of 1,237 with multiple states left to go to further pad his margin of victory.  The people have spoken – and they’re using very short (frequently 4-letter) words.

While Hope n’ Change isn’t wildly enthusiastic about Mr. Trump owing to some policy differences (we favor having policies), we suppose we’ll now have to be more supportive of his campaign. Which would mean not pointing out that he sounds almost exactly like Billy Mumy in the scariest-ever episode of “The Twilight Zone,” in which 6-year-old Anthony Fremont has zero impulse control coupled with absolute power over his terrified parents and neighbors.

At one point in the show, Anthony glares at a man who isn’t supportive enough and says, “You’re a bad man! You’re a very bad man! And you keep thinking bad thoughts about me!” At which point Anthony uses his yuuuge mental powers to turn the man into a grotesque jack-in-the-box, his lifeless head bobbing on a spring, causing everyone else to tell the angry child, “You done good! You done real good, Anthony!” so as not to incur his wrath.

With that as preamble, we’d just like to say, “you done real good, Mr. Trump!”

Mind you, Hope n’ Change is not in the #NeverTrump camp. But we ARE most assuredly in the #NeverHillary camp and the #BernieSandersAreYouFreakingKiddingMe?! camp. So odds are pretty darn good that The Donald will get our vote in November.

Especially if his rallies keep getting disrupted by violent left-wing protesters who are seemingly immune from the law. Maybe seeing a few of them turned into jack-in-the-boxes might actually be pretty satisfying.

Wish us into the corn liquor, Anthony.
