Seth Meyers looks at Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton’s primary wins in key primary states including Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland and Delaware – and anualyzes Trump’s newsflash Wednesday, claiming Hillary is playing the woman card!
The buzz is that Bernie is hurting both Hillary and the party, and your guilt won’t work with him. Is it just possible that Bernie has been a much needed prompt directing the party back to the left, where it belongs?
While Bernie’s not going anywhere some Republicans must be having a bittersweet moment. As a self-described Star Wars geek, Ted Cruz must face the fact that his Alliance has been crushed. If, as Admiral Akbar warned, ‘It’s a trap!’ it is a trap that Cruz and Kasich built and blundered into while following a trail of New York pizza.
Meanwhile, in a galaxy too close for comfort, a psychotic orange Vader tested his presidential chops by giving what cannot even loosely be called a foreign policy speech. He was flanked by a touchingly hopeful Chris Christie and my new favorite Republican, Christie’s wife Mary Pat Christie. You can probably find her sleeping in the Governor’s dog house tonight. Mary Pat, whose ‘adoring candidate’s wife’ face is incomparable, lost even her poker face, standing behind Trump Wednesday. When Trump called Hillary’s life of service ‘the woman’s card’ and topped it by saying ‘women hate her’ poor Mary Pat could no longer be responsible…And I love her for it.
I also love what Seth had to say about Hillary. It’s a tribute to all women – and the enemy in the story is embodied by a certain small-handed, flaming orange azzhat.
“Hillary aside, this is the sort of sh*t women have had to put up with every single day. After breaking through systemic barriers and cultural and institutional sexism built up over generations, if a woman achieves anything, she’s told, ‘Oh well, it’s only because you’re a woman.’ Hillary was Secretary of State for four years. Trump doesn’t even know how to pronounce the name of the country Tanzania…As demonstrated in a policy speech today. ”
‘Tan-Zane-ee-uh’ Like the cartoon – Tanzanian Devil.’
