NEW YORKAll over America IKEA futons are groaning with the restless insomnia of journaliststossing, turning, cursing the impotence of their melatonin capsulesburdened with the future of the Republic. Long nights of torment, and then . . .
Morning resolve! Before theyve even microwaved their second Jimmy Dean Sausage Sandwich, they know that this will be the day of reckoning. They will fire up the Kia Sedona and take the long way to work, giving them more time to think about the epic 1,500 words that will make the difference between chaos and civilization.
Yes, they tell their wives, Its time for my Donald Trump is a Dickwad column.
. . .
. . . the Donald Trump voters have consistently told us why theyre voting for Trump, but it doesnt fit any of the stereotypes and so its never mentioned. Whats the first thing out of a Trump voters mouth when hes asked about it?
I like him because he says whats on his mind.
Hell say anything.
He doesnt sugar-coat it.
He says things no one else will say.
Its a political movement based on the First Amendment.

Bless you for that. If God manages to keep my hands from certain throats I’ll have to call that more of a victory than I probably deserve. ;-)
Thanks very much. I’ve never heard of Joe Bob Briggs (John Bloom) until today. What have I been missing? Already read the Wiki article, now listening to a youtube video. What a hoot he is. Handsome man, too.
Unfortunately - it is a constant Trump / regular folk hate fest.
Because of the schedule, I had to go to they gym in the afternoon. All the TVs are set to either CNN or ESPN. Being naïve, I went to machines that could see CNN.
Apparently Clinton is not running - CNN was all time anti-Trump. Anderson Cooper was with his panel (looking so serious) but just slam after slam on Trump for 90 minutes. I was most upset about the Kahn father constantly pointing with the crawl indicated that he was so sincere and demanding that Trump show humanity.
I am actually quite worried - if you did not have the background info, you would have thought that Trump was either more dangerous than Hitler or more stupid than a Starbuck’s barista
Haven’t read cultural criticism this deft since early Tom Wolfe.
For a minute I thought it was Joe Dan Gorman of Intellectual Froglegs. But it surpassed even Joe Dan.
That was one fine read.
Thanks for posting.
I remember the review Joe Bob Briggs wrote for The Terminator movie in the 80’s. Fantastic

OMG. CNN is speculating that Trump is about to “get out of the race” by quitting. LOL! Dana Bash was doing a call-in to that woman who has a frozen look of hemorrhoid pain on her face and they’re trying so very hard to make it sound as if Trump is standing on the precipice of sanity-vs-delusions, about to take the plunge.
I CANNOT wait until next Tuesday night when Paul RINORyan is sent packing. Trump’s instincts for reading people are legendary, and he’s refusing to endorse Ryan, McCain, and Alloyette (sp). There’s a REASON for that.
C’mon Wisconsin don’t let us down next week!
I don't wonder any more...
Right.
BRAVO! What a great article. Definitely worth printing out and reading at your leisure. I am sending it to family and friends.
Can’t say I have been a Trump supporter, but your article certainly helped firm up my vote for Trump.
I have been concerned that if Trump loses we will be screwed, and maybe if he wins we will be screwed.
If he wins, at least we will have a chance for things to be set right. With Mrs. Clinton it will be the same old, same old for sure.
BRAVO, again, excellent analysis.
Actually, not.
Clinton was not prosecuted for OBVIOUS multiple felonies.
Now that she's assured that she is light-years beyond the reach of the law, what do you suppose her attitude regarding "The Law" will be as president?
Hillary is NOT the "forgive and forget" type.
