\u201cDonald Trump: Because Charlie Sheen Isn\u2019t Running\u201d
\nHonestly I think the dude\u2019s got a chance, not even just in the primary but the general. He\u2019s an attention whore but an experienced one, knows how to wield it. (And I wouldn\u2019t be much of a d'Annunzian to dismiss the potential of that.)
\n\nAnd honestly, a realignment around welfarist (white) nationalism has a lot of potential for the GOP - that was the FDR/New Deal brand that worked so well so long for the Democrats, and it could really scramble the electoral map, put PA, the upper Midwest, even OR in play at the risk of what? (correction from SC:) NC and AZ, accepting that VA\u2019s gone, higher margins places they were never going to get? Then lock that in until and unless TX flips.
\n\nThe barrier\u2019s always been pols not wanting to risk their reputations or fundraising access among the donor class, but a billionaire narcissist\u2019s a silver bullet for that.
