Seth Meyers takes a closer look at day two of the Democratic National Convention, where Sanders supporters outside carried a 51-foot doobie -while enthusiastic Democrats rallied inside. Elsewhere, a squalling, red-faced baby Donald Trump set just the right treasonous tone – and displayed his judgement, by inviting Russian hackers to illegally crack Hillary Clinton’s email. If one had never seen Donald Trump mock Sanders supporters, his attempt to swoop in and woo downtrodden Bernie fans would still seem insincere. “Trump seeking to pick up Sander’s voters is like WWR Raw expecting to gain viewers because ‘Downton Abbey’ is off the air..They’re different shows, dude,” observed Seth.
Seth addressed one of the many things that has bothered me ever since Donald Trump became a presidential candidate. If we react badly when Trump is cheered for his crude, bigoted and uninformed ‘speeches’ – what on earth must be going through Howard Dean’s mind?
You may recall that one – just one scream of enthusiasm on the campaign trail ended Dean’s chances completely. It may be that people still believe Dean is crazy…For that one slip. In a world where Donald Trump has not only gone further than Dean, but could well gain the White House – if Howard Dean wasn’t crazy then, he may well be madder than a hatter now!
