I like cartoons and comics and a comparison of two political figures by the great writer Garrison Ke hit home and was informative. The well-known Minnesota native describes his states own political cartoon figure in former Governor Jesse Ventura. Keillor went on to say how little Jesse Ventura accomplished and stayed in the political scene after his one term victory as Governor back in 1998 and how he seemed disinterested once the novelty of being Governor to a remote state wore off. the comparison between Trump and Ventura has been discussed before and one can conclude that a Trump victory wouldn't accomplish much or last very long.
Keillor has seen this shit before and the popularity of Donald Trump's candidacy and stupid one liners is only possible from a population long dumbed down through media manipulation and their covert actions to keep everyone misinformed with the truth. Keillor realizes the scurrilous actions of a Donald Trump are to play up to this American ignorance on important subjects. Keillor says these joke clown candidates don't last long when they get the attention that they seeked and can't keep the same enthusiasm for their job
Keillor went on his observations of Jesse Ventura "What 1998 did for Ventura was to give him a whole new career as a paid fulminator on the lecture circuit and cable TV host with a book contract, which, for an aging rassler with back problems, was a very good deal. What it did for Minnesota was to make us the butt of a joke. "Now the rest of America will be a joke with Donald Trump's political threat. America has become a political satire cartoon as one would find in the political comics in papers across the country. America has become a bigger butt of jokes too around the world.
