Republican politics is a reality television show.
Reality television frequently portrays a modified and highly influenced form of reality, utilizing sensationalism to attract viewers and to generate advertising profits. Participants are often placed in exotic locations or abnormal situations, and are sometimes coached to act in specific scripted ways by off-screen "story editors" or "segment producers," with the portrayal of events and speech manipulated and contrived to create an illusion of reality through editing and other post-production techniques
