New York Times columnist,
Ross
Douthat, has tweeted that he knows how the Donald Trump campaign
ends:
Good news guys I've figured out how the Trump campaign ends:https://t.co/Oe2QfJYdVg— Ross Douthat (@DouthatNYT) February 24, 2016
Here's a screen grab of
the tweet in case it disappears:
For those of you who are
not Stephen King fans, Douthat's tweet refers to a 1983 movie, The
Dead Zone, which features a lead character with psychic abilities
who feels a compulsion to kill a toxic presidential candidate.
I wonder how long it will
be until Mr. Douthat finds men dressed in black, driving black vehicles paying
him a little visit despite the fact that he considers himself to be a "conservative"?
The protagonist (played by Christopher Walken) has visions of the future after an accident. One of those visions is of a wildly popular presidential candidate/religious wing-nut (played by Martin Sheean) starting a nuclear war, so and decides to kill him. He fails, but during the attempt the Presidential candidate attempts to shield himself by placing a child in front of himself and it ends his campaign. You have to tell the whole story for the mans comment to make sense.
ReplyDeleteIn context that makes a lot of sense. Meaning Trump would really have to have a moment where he shows the voters he is full of shit or something like pushing a mother and child out of his way to save himself.
