Donald Trump To Lend His Credibility To GOP Primary Debate

The 2012 GOP presidential primary race has been marred by scandals and buffoonery galore over recent months, including sexual harassment accusations, human gaffe machines, and Tiffany shopping sprees. Republicans need someone who can bring class back to the party—someone who understands when it's appropriate to let the f-bombs fly and who knows the proper way to eat pizza. They need someone who has "enormous balls." And to that end, professional used car salesman Donald Trump will moderate a GOP primary debate.

Thanks to conservative magazine and website Newsmax, Donald Trump will moderate the presidential debate in Des Moines on Dec. 27th. “Our readers and the grass roots really love Trump,” said Christopher Ruddy, chief executive of Newsmax Media. “They may not agree with him on everything, but they don’t see him as owned by the Washington establishment, the media establishment.” Fair point—Trump really is only in the Donald Trump industry. Sure, that may mean he doesn't have anything resembling an inner life, but who needs introspection when they have "yards and yards of gold silk?"

As ludicrous as it may seem, many prominent Republicans really do take Trump—who flirted with running for President Of Obama-Is-Not-An-American last spring—very seriously. Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Mitt Romney and Rick Perry have all broken bread with Trump for highly-publicized photo ops. And current frontrunner Newt Gingrich is up next: he's due to meet Trump in NYC this Monday.

We can't wait to see what Trump has to say about all this on his YouTube rant page. After all, who doesn't love it when the titan of combover industries gives himself a well-deserved handjob?

  • Herman Cain is officially done - the baby is thrown out with the bath water

  • Mr Mel

    At this rate the Dems are going to win the Presidency again and probably get the Congress back as well. There isn't one credible (forget likable) GOP Candidate in this bunch. Surely they have a Governor or Senator somewhere that is better than anyone in this batch of Jerks.

  • Seriously, the way things are going Obama could be meat-grinding orphans and puppies live on camera and still win...

  • proudliberal1947

    So the Chief of Clowns is going to host the CIRCUS of CLOWNS, WOW! and this party isn't concerned about a Idiot leading a bunch of Idiots, I guess the Lemmings are in town and getting to run off the cliff.

    Eddie Haskell, all grown up.

    I would think Democrats would be all for this.

  • Militant Conformist

    When will the adults come out and tell these kids to go the fuck to sleep, it's pass their bedtime

  • PhotoHarris

    And so, the GOP clown circus continues, but now with a ringmaster.

  • This story is written as if this is a good thing.

  • horsechoker

    I have to say, all the republican debates have been entertaining.

  • I have that feeling of second hand embarrassment that you get watching like, "There's Something About Mary" or whatever.

  • I can't stand those types of movies. Probably explains why this whole charade just seems like a bad comedy to me.

  • Me neither; those cringe/embarrassment films are really the worst. Or well, okay, not THE WORST, the worst is this farce of a primary.
