I know what you're thinking, what on earth do Donald Trump and one of the most well known American Idol contestants have in common? Well, it goes beyond the hair. Both of these network TV relics became household names through being hated. In fact, SNL's Pete Davidson has already recognized the comparison I'm about to make, but why not elaborate on the significance of this? After New Hampshire's confirmation of America's stupidity (except Kasich getting second place, that was wonderful), I thought it was only necessary to emphasize the ridiculousness that is Trump's lead.

1. He's America's joke that has turned into an all-too real front-runner for the 2016 presidential race.

Trump has used quasi-fascist rhetoric to rally the right wing under the happy-go-lucky promise to "Make America Great Again". He's fractured the Republican Party, tapped into deep-seeded frustrations, and truly turned the race for the republican nomination into a race for second place among those who are truly politicians.

2. In short, Donald Trump has become a symbol of equal parts frustrated Americans and first-world ignorance.

No one expected when he announced his campaign that he was serious, but now? Donald Trump's pathway to the general election has never seemed clearer. The polls have not lied. Clearly, his rhetoric is appealing to the masses, but he's also done a wonderful job at puzzling the other masses (read: people with a college degree)

3. What will result?

Only time can tell, but if we draw upon a past American tragedy anomaly, there may be light at the end of this dark tunnel (well, for those of you who despise the racist, toupee'd billionaire as much as I do).

4. Sanjaya Malakar was doubted by many and hated by most.

The judges, viewers, and almost anyone plugged into American pop culture in 2006 were either obsessed with how bad he was for a joke (like Howard Stern's push for people to vote for the worst contestant each week), or thought he was a cute teenage boy who deserved their vote based upon his "charming" good looks.

5. In short, America seemed truly split on the matter.

Many were confused by Sanjaya's longevity, one woman promised to fast until he was eliminated (later giving up after he made it through week after week).

However, Sanjaya translated does mean victory. . . so maybe there was something to all this.

6. Then there was little Ashley Ferl, representing the thousands that constantly dialed for him each week.

Much like Trump supporters, Ashley was star-struck with Sanjaya to the point of tears.

7. For weeks, this mediocre singer climbed to the top of idol ranks.

Everyone complained about his success, yet those same viewers allowed him to progress for so many weeks.

8. Finally, at Week Seven, Sanjaya gave everyone "Something to Talk About" and was finally eliminated.

What we see from this relation is that there might be an end to all of this. Trump might very well give us his own rendition of "something to talk about", leading America could come to our senses. Or he could truly embody his Idol spirit's name meaning, and become victorious.

9. We can only hope that Trump will follow the same path of Sanjaya as we come closer and closer to finding the next. . . American President.

Like Simon Cowell once advised, the only way to save your favorites is to VOTE. And I believe his rant at the end of this video depicts our current GOP dilemma quite accurately.

10. So remember that folks, or this toupee'd mess will have the codes to detonate our nuclear warheads.
