PLEDGES NOTWITHSTANDING…THINK THIRD PARTY THAT WALRUS SAID…
(…and I’m bringing along a mamma grizzly to that political bed)

Every four years America shifts into a frenzied anticipatory mode for its presidential election cycle, much as if it were expecting a three-ring circus to come to town, and, to be really honest, our American political process does resemble a three-ring circus. One which rivals even the extravaganzas of Ringling’s …Greatest Show On Earth!

For one thing, once that campaign cycle ignites, some of the wildest, zaniest, and simply outrageous displays of partisan posturing pour out all over the place. It’s at such times that flamboyant personalities, such as Donald Trump, jump in with their fevered demagogue style to stir up all those who exist on the fringes of the mainstream electorate. While that makes for great poll numbers, and dominates those campaigns news cycles for a while, eventually such “following” tends to fade away. Much like passing out after a wild binge on the town, to wake up feeling somewhat hung over.

At such moments, the smart thing for “outsider” type candidates like Trump is to make noises about forming a “third party” candidacy instead, which is exactly what he’s done now, so, pledges notwithstanding “think third party that walrus said…and I’m bringing along a mama grizzly…to that political bed.” And their on-air billing and cooing about it via satellite TV or SKYPE suggests Trump and Palin have made some kind of campaign arrangement to vie for the votes of the “fans of celebrity” mob…of theTMZ or INSIDER persuasion.

Well, if such a combination does come about, the odds are Fox News and CNN will soon be flashing headlines asking…” Hinky Hanky…Who’s Getting The…Panky?”

Like we said, our political process here is like a three-ring circus.
