Got to thinkin’ yesterday about Trump’s real role in this Republican presidential drama. Maybe he’s the teaser stallion here. Others have suggested such in posts, but for the wrong candidate – usually Hillary Clinton. Chuckle. Let me ‘splain.

On horse breeding farms, there are usually two or more very unlucky males who serve as ‘teaser stallions’. They are adept at sorting out which mares are in heat, and ready to mate. But the poor things never get to mate, because other stallions are better breeding prospects because of their background and genetics. So what does that have to do with this Presidential Primary season?

I now begin to see Trump as the teaser stallion, whipping the mares (the gullible schlemiels in the Republican electorate) into a frenzy, along with the not-so-gullible cynics in the media. His job is to be as outrageous and offensive as possible so the media will pay attention and so the schlemiels will think the Republican party is on their side, with every possible ism known to humanity. But just like with the teaser stallions, it’s his job to get close but not clinch the deal – i.e. not ‘mate’ by having more than 1,237 delegates committed to him.

Then, when the convention comes, because he is so outrageous, he will be bought off and the ‘real stud’ – Paul Ryan – who, by the way, is the Chairman of the Convention, can step in and be the putative nominee. I see it now for what it is – very slick. The question is: was this planned, or will it just work out this way? Is Trump the orchestra leader or just the horn player?

It really doesn’t matter. He’ll play his part, because it’s worth it to him in the only currency he truly understands – wealth. He doesn’t want to be President – that’s the only indication of his sanity thus far demonstrated. There won’t be “riots in the streets” – in fact, there will be a collective sigh of relief from all corners. And the docile Democrats won’t know what hit them until they lose Florida and Ohio in the election and slowly begin to see what happened. But too late. They will protest with their own version of conspiracy theories, but who’ll listen? Please – that’s yesterday’s news cycle. Wow – aren’t we all a bunch of suckers?

Will Paul Ryan be a good president? Maybe. But I think he is a very ambitious guy who is the ‘new’ Jeb Bush. I had the right idea all along – just the wrong generational candidate. Sorry, Jeb – you can go back to practicing devil craft, and let the new generation of Beelzebubs take it from here. I’m sure Paul will be around for pointers on how to be a good warlock. Sigh.
