Donald and the Unthinkable.

The first of the American Primaries is almost here. On Monday Iowa will cast its vote to decide their nominee for the Presidential Election.
For months the pundits have been saying that it is a complete impossibility that Donald Trump could be the Republican Nominee.
So much for the experts!
Trump has confounded all predictions by vaulting to the head of the slate of presidential hopefuls and STAYING THERE.
He has done this by cutting out middlemen, handlers, lobbyists, intermediaries, party-mandarins and the like, and going to Main Street America directly.
Twitter, Facebook and Social Media have opened up a whole new world of campaigning and, after all, this IS 2016.
It also helps if you have a few billion dollars of your own money to spend instead of being on the pay-roll of Big Donors. Donald has his own stash and lots of it.
Far be from me to draw parallels between Donald and Jesus, but in so far as they both went directly to the people and enraged the establishment in doing so, their method was the same.
For Jesus it ended on the Cross; for Donald it may end in the White House.  
Nah! That's unthinkable.

Jubilate.
