He will very likely lose the election and possibly not even get the nomination in Cleveland. We’ll likely see protests and demonstrations. If he survives the convention, the debates and the actual election process will be a massive news cycle that doesn’t end until election night. So what happens the day after... His brand, for the 13 million who vote for him and the few million abroad that like him, will be as elevated as it’s ever been. He’ll slap his name on any product he can and sell tons of those products to these 13 plus million.

He’ll also probably get a fat contract to be on Fox News. They’ll offer him a show and he’ll take it. “Sunday evenings with Donald.” He’ll just rant like Mike Huckabee or Sara Palin. But he’ll get ratings higher than The Apprentice and he’ll make money.

That was his end game all along. Self-promotion. Self Aggrandizement. Not to be taken seriously.

Funny thing is that he has been taken seriously and he did find 13 million voters even after the GOP threw every piece of spaghetti against the wall to see what would stick. But nothing stuck except this meatball.

The whole thing is a massive cluster full of mistakes made by the media for actually giving him a daily microphone over the last year and for the political establishment on the Right for not finding a way to get him out of the limelight. Yeay ! Go Clinton!

But he’s already won. After all, he just needs more brand loyalty to make more millions and he’s got it. That’s what’s sad. He could, and probably will, lose in a landslide, but the middle aged white voter that loves his brand will love it even more… no matter what happens.

Nu? The fiscal what?

Drama kings and queens all across the media and the halls of Congress, the only folks I trust are Obama and Reid. Here's what will happen: Jan 1 will come with no deal and then between 1/2/13 and the Inauguration, they'll work out a deal to cut taxes on the folks making less than $250,000. The whole thing is set up to do that. Sure there were hints at smaller deal(s) in the interim, but that's not going to happen because Boehner doesn't have the votes. Grover Norquist/Tea Party crazies hijacked that some time ago.

The GOP keeps talking about reducing or capping deductions a.k.a. loopholes as a way of raising revenue. But no one is talking about the POLICIES behind some of those very important deductions. We want to create policies that encourage behaviors in society and the marketplace that benefit us all. Yet no one is talking about that or highlighting it. The Democrats need to get into this.

1. Mortgage Interest deductions
2. College Loan Interest deductions
3. Charitable giving deductions

These are all items that we need because they encourage outcomes we want in society. More below the fold.

Yes. We have a Birth Certificate. Praise God, Allah, Jah and the Holy Trinity. With a little bit of Tenacity (Team Tenacity - Season 3 of Celebrity Apprentice), Trump gets his way. Meanwhile back in Reality - we need a Government that functions and passes legislation. We need a strategy in the Middle East and a nimble China policy. We need to continue to help those in need from Syria to Japan. We need to the debate to continue on jobs, health care, education, taxes, subsidies, clean air, clean water, electric cars, solar power, nuclear power, banking reform, etc. Now that the Birth Certificate is here, what will Trump sound like when asked for his opinions on issues that matter. Now is when the real comedy begins. ...
