It takes a Brit to reorient us as to why Trump is so, so very attractive to many American voters.

TRUMP RUINS THE LIVES OF ALL THE PEOPLE THEY HATE!

Spectator –

It would be Trumpageddon for all the worst people in Britain, and the prospect is rather attractive

The BBC, for example, will not be happy. There will be a markedly different mood within the corporation this election night to the one we witnessed in 2008, when the studios were awash with ejaculate and we viewers were all forced to endure a relentlessly celebratory Obamathon, utterly devoid of anything even approaching impartiality: how wonderful of the Americans to elect him and what a marvelous, marvelous little black man he is! They will be instead grim-faced with incomprehension and antipathy.

Think how grossly offended will be those half a million quasi-Stalinist Brits who signed a petition demanding that Donald Trump be banned for ever from visiting this country. And the fatuous MPs who took the suggestion so seriously that they debated the issue themselves. We cannot possibly allow into our country people who disagree with our views, even if it is a view (regarding Muslim immigration) with which the majority of the population would concur.

…think of the bien-pensant slebs, the actors and the luvvies and the pop stars. Think how royally pissed off they will be. Benedict Cumberbatch will deliver an emotional denunciation in the middle of Hamlet’s third soliloquy, perhaps joined on stage by Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry, the ‘comedian’ Stewart Lee, Lenny Henry and many others, to hold hands and keen for the millions who will be murdered, maimed or simply excluded by the Trump presidency.

If Trump governs the way he says he will govern on the campaign trail, and we should have no reason to distrust him any more than any other politician that gets run up the flag pole, then the progressive depression alone from a Trump win would be sweeter than sweet.

Of course, I think a Cruz presidency will do nicely, as well. But I don’t think it will cause as much derangement syndrome, which is a slight negative for me.

I’m a sadist that way.
