Trump's new OPED - Admit It: You People Want To See How Far This Goes, Don’t You?

[Capt. Obvious]

The latest polls are out, and just as I predicted, I’m leading the Republican presidential race by a wide margin. You might be wondering how that could be. After all, it’s hardly been a month since I entered the field and I’ve already alienated America’s largest immigrant population, seen dozens of my high-profile business deals implode one after the other, and publicly insulted a national hero’s military service, all while not offering a single viable policy idea. But none of that matters at all, and my candidacy continues to surge forward, because none of you—not a single one of you—can look away. Not even for a second.

Admit it: You people want to see just how far this goes, don’t you?

My campaign’s just barely begun and I’ve already got you begging for more. Sure, you can say you oppose me or that you don’t even take me seriously. But let me ask you: How many articles have you read about Ted Cruz lately? How many news segments have you watched on Bobby Jindal? Or Rand Paul? But if those stories have the name “Donald Trump” in them, well, look who suddenly can’t get enough.

The thing is, I’ve got all of you eating out of my hand and I haven’t even released a single campaign commercial yet. Don’t look me in the eye and tell me you don’t want to stick around and see what that looks like, because you and I both know these ads are going to be absolutely incredible. I’ll be standing there projecting my best presidential air, saying “I’m Donald Trump, and I approve this message,” and you won’t be able to take your eyes off it.

You keep obsessing over every little thing I do and say, and I promise you’ll get your commercials real soon.

And the TV spots are just the beginning. I know you, and I know what you like. You’ll absolutely eat it up when you see the “Trump ’16” T-shirts, the lawn signs, the bumper stickers; in fact, you’ll probably get a real kick out of pointing them out to your friends. Now, just imagine me shaking hands with senior citizens at a nursing home in Iowa. Wouldn’t you love to watch that? Or hear what comes out of my mouth when I speak to blue-collar workers at a struggling auto factory?

1. He may not want it to go too far....

Seems all the attention is just that, it going to go where Trumps doesn't want it to go. I suspect at some point in time the Opp research is going to deliver a whopper.

2. He's the best thing to happen to Democrats this election cycle.

Cheers to the Donald. May he win the Republican primary, thus alienating even more Republican voters, and ensuring that Democrats could nominate a coconut and win the White House.

3. That really could have been a Trump editorial.

I'll bet The Onion eventually just throws up its hands and start quoting him verbatim.

4. Trump/LePage in 2016.

They both have outsized egos, they both hate immigrants, and love to trash fellow politicians, reporters, anyone who annoys them for a nanosecond. It's the team to beat!

LePage would need to do something about his hair though.

5. Ooh that would be awesome

6. This Is Trump's Way To Save Face....

I know that this OpEd is from the Onion but it points out the flaws in our system and Trump is now exploiting them.

His way out is to say he has done all this on purpose just to illustrate these flaws and then lobby to change the system. Take the money out of politics. Stop the negative campaigning. Educate the public on the issues and talk about solutions. Let people that really care about America run for office without all this background noise that just confuses the electorate and pulls and pushes them in wrong directions that only benefits the 1%.

Trump can save face if he said he's done all this to make this statement and point out the absurdity in our system of electing our leaders.

7. I had to double check The Onion link.

The sad thing is, Donald Trump makes The Onion's otherwise brilliant satire look lazy.

10. I think the problem is that things have been so insane and getting worse

That whatever the Onion can come up with, the people they are satirizing are already doing...like their post on us giving Bibi a ballistic missile pacifier for being mad about a settling the Mid East down.

8. The man is seriously

disturbed. He is an egomaniac, a narcissist and
is making a mockery of American politics. The
world is not only laughing at him - it is laughing
at US.

9. Donald didn't just jump the shark, he jumped the Ann Coulter. nt

11. too funny

There's another one about how he heroically avoided capture by not going to Vietnam.
