Seth Meyers takes a closer look at Donald Trump’s difficulty recruiting delegates – and we wonder, is “the disgusting dirty system rigged” is ‘the fix in’ as Trump claims?
Seth’s witty and accurate picture of The Donald in the political world shows a man who frankly seems surprised that he needs delegates. In fact, his loyal base now believes delegates are just another crooked scheme by the Republican Party to stop or slow their juggernaut in his ascent to world domination. Sadly, Trump thinks so too.
I heard Trump described as a dilettante today, and the moniker fits him. In the past, he’s backed out before getting close to campaigning for President. Whatever caused him to kick it up a few notches, wasn’t an acquired knowledge of politics. I suspect his huge, easily bruised ego is at play. Trump got caught up in the adoration of the rough crowds he’s drawn by echoing their own dissatisfaction and uninformed world view – right back at them.
A dilettante, whether an amateur birdhouse builder or yachtsman – reads the rules, learns the craft before diving in. In Donald Trump’s universe you make up the rules as you go along. Trump’s system would make for a hell of a birdhouse, I leave it to you to imagine the country he’d build. I have to get to sleep tonight!
