For a moment I had thought Dilbert creator Scott Adams had come out in favor of Donald Trump. It squeaked past an editorial from, I believe it was National Review, calling Scott Adams a supporter while relaying that he predicted Trump thumping to victory in November. This, momentarily, made yesterday’s edition of Dilbert pretty intriguing.
 If Wally were a sympathetic character in this regard, he would then make a good stand in for Scott Adams on this Trump thing.
I had known that Scott Adams had predicted Donald Trump’s rise on his internet sites, at just about the time that I had gone from thinking it not going to happen to at least seeing the possibility, and a time a few others I saw who prognosticate on these made the “gulp” leap. But I assumed it was not support for this prediction, but a prediction.
Before I could go to the archives to look into it, I see in the news that… yeah, that’s what it was and is.
And I doubt it will come to pass as the prediction goes, but I can see it happen. The one strange thing about this election… in most election cases a larger electorate will favor the Democrat — see 2008 and 2012 versus 2010 and 2014. In the case that you have a celebrity “blunt talker” — well, see Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The fear for Hillary Clinton supporters, tepid or enthusiastic, is that an apolitical mass is looming and will swarm in off a strange “cool”ness factor.
As it were, Scott Adams — sure, haggle away in 1990s era polemics with art from Tom Tomorrow all you want to disparage a neo-liberalism bent, but … not for Trump.
