Grey Champions and the Election of 2016
#59
He is a Grey Chempion only if one of two things apply:

1. The Grey Champion can be evil. Stalin? Trotsky? Antonescu? If President Trump transforms (with the aid of a compliant Congress which serves lobbyists instead of constituents)... Good Lord!

2. Donald Trump transmutes into a reasonable, decent, humane fellow.

Making a vegetarian out of a cat looks easier.

I see him more as an antithesis of a Grey Champion.

The Grey Champion will more likely be his successor, even if that is someone who achieves Admiral Yamamoto's dream of dictating terms of peace in the White House. Or sets up shop in the Fairmount Hotel in San Francisco after getting American officials to sign an armistice on a battleship in San Francisco Bay in a manner parallel to Douglas MacArthur in Japan.

How does "President Amy Klobuchar" sound?
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
