Remember the axiom about casinos, “The house always wins”?
Think about that when it comes to the Donald versus the GOP Establishment – the one that’s often seemed to be the House of Rove, Rumsfeld, and Cheney.
It’s a high-stakes game, indeed, and a lot of high rollers and table proprietors are getting really nervous. When do they call in Security? Or who’s about to lose a proverbial shirt or more?
Let’s watch as the adrenaline kick in and the poker faces crack open. It’s been too dull up till now. Let’s see who can put how much on the line …
Jnana's Red Barn 
It is rather operatic isn’t it? I wish I knew more about opera to draw a specific comparison.
As a comic opera, for now. And we’d still be in Act I. We have a court jester, a prince who hasn’t yet figured out how to wear a crown, a doctor (think of Dr. Bartolo). As for a barber? I’d suggest Carly, since she knows how to get real things done. Now for the rest of them … Music by Rossini would do quite nicely.
Of course, if the darker forces start plotting behind the scenes and bodies start dropping (not just out of the race, either), then we could wind up with the more gripping tragic version. Now we’re into heavy um-pah-pah Verdi.
French opera might take some other directions. How about a corps de ballet flitting across the stage in front of the speakers from time to time? Or a chorus shouting them down?
And then there’s Wagner, with them all marching off into the distance as all hell breaks loose.
Oh, the possibilities!
We’ll be at the Met before you know it.
