LOL. Singer has done some decent writing in his life, but he may have topped himself in the paragraphs above.

I think Singer's a little too enthusiastic, but I'm the guy who listened to a Trump biography on tape while leisurely driving to the opening of the Taj Mahal back in whenever the hell it was (1990; I had to look it up). My compadre was the late Johny Mucha, who was a Trumpster fan. We rented a vehicle for the excursion, as damages were always a concern since we traveled a la Hunter Thompson (never stay in the same place more than two nights because one never knows who is following you).

Anyway, we were well aware of Trump's many foibles before the trip (such as his old man transferring money -- technically avoiding inheritance taxes -- into Don's name and things like the Trumpster calling in "anonymously" while discussing his own dating life on radio shows). My current better half was also privy to a call Trump made when trying to get a loan for a casino in LV. Very entertaining. Not exactly presidential, but what after all is "presidential?"

It is really quite a caveat against the current incarnation of the Dems that I, a dedicated socialist, strongly believe that the Trumpster is the only sane choice in a few weeks.

I will pay, as Singer said, to watch MSNBC on election night. I already have a few bucks on Mr. Trump, so the question is when and if I hedge.

On a serious note, it is really something that my intellectual position is that what has occurred recently vis-a-vis media and censorship and control is so insidious and far-reaching that my vote will go to Trump. But what I see from the "left" is worse than anything Orwell cooked up, and it'll just get worse, given the current trajectory.
