   Well, I guess it still counts as “fair and balanced” if you swing from one extreme and later back to center reality. Even if it takes eight years, eh? And makes you a multi-millionaire in the process.

   Go Trump! And take Ryan, McConnell & Co. with you.

   There are two addictions here that it’s hard to imagine the addicts giving up.

   First, of course, is Trump’s addiction to the limelight. This campaign has fed his “narcissistic wound” ( = inner black hole) better than anything he’s ever bought or engineered into his life before.

   And second is the media’s addiction to filling pages / air time while doing no work at all — airing Trump clips and tweets plus appending a “tsk, task” or “Yay!” is a nice way to earn a living.

   It’s my guess that neither side will give up their addictions willingly — we will likely have to take action to get the river of meaningless Trump “news” to stop.
