"I know a lot about Pennsylvania, and it's great. How's Joe Paterno. We're gonna bring that back? Right?...How 'bout that whole deal?" You know, I think I am starting to see what people like so much about this Donald Trump guy. He's changing politics as we know it! It's no longer about just saying what people want to hear, it's about saying what you think is right no matter how racist, sexist, or disrespectful it is. At first I thought he was simply fear mongering and pandering to unintelligible bigots, but that's not it at all. He's just being himself. If he wasn't then why else would he stand on stage and speak on behalf of a man that negligently fostered a never ending ring of pedophilia on the campus of a state college? Surely he didn't think that that would go over well just because he was in Pennsylvania. No sir. Not only is he way too smart of a man to think the blind love of Joe Paterno extends well beyond the cult walls of Happy Valley, but he has way too much integrity to stand for something he doesn't wholeheartedly believe in. He's just a big time Joe Paterno guy, and no potentially awkward or cringeworthy reaction is going to stop him from saying so. He's such a loyal Paterno supporter that he still refers to him in the present tense as if he still living on within all of us, and I can respect that type of dedication. I know resurrecting a statue of a man that valued solid defensive football over the well being of children isn't the most honorable of causes to take up, but picking a President isn't about judging candidates based on their beliefs. It's about voting for the candidate that feels the most comfortable stating his (or her) most offensive beliefs without shame. I don't know about this whole building a wall business, but at least we'll be able to say whatever the fuck we want within it's "friendly" confines. That's just what Donald Trump represents. Nothing of substance politically, but literally everything politically incorrect.
