So my article, again by Clarence Page, is about what he thinks about Karl Rove standing up against Donald Trump for hosting the GOP presidencial candidate election. He explains Karls point first to lessen the assumptions becuause we have all heard of DOnald Trump, but not him, so if he was to say his POV second, it would lessen the effect. He also says that Trump hosting the elections makes a mockery out of "the most important decision to americans". He also makes fun of Trump by showing that Trump him self was " basically... a loser". He also criticizes americans for not caring about politics, so to care, we must throw in show biz. He gives analogies with  famous judges on hit reality shows saying satirical things making fun of government.

So new person on the opinions because it turns out that my other person doesn't write weekly so here goes!!! SO my new person, Clarence Page, is writing about the upcoming election and how he believes that the tea party is destroying itself by electing Newt Gingrich as their presidential candidate because electing him is hypocritical in the sense that people like him are the ones that the tea party want out of office. He makes the point that Gingrich has done what the tea party rages against ( giving money to businesses etc.). And since Gingrich did support the bill then the tea partiers should be blaming him for financial crisis, not electing him. He also seems to be insulting to all the candidates by calling this upcoming election an american idol audition
