How Many Disqualifiers Can He Get Away With?
He wants to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. He threatened convention riots if he didn't get the nomination. Torture-wise, he wants to "go much tougher" than waterboarding. He wants to punish women for having abortions. He refuses to disavow David Duke and the KKK. He won't release his tax returns.
In any "normal" election, any one of these fucked-up positions would've sunk Donald Trump like a stone. But some Americans are into abnormal. They're "entertained" by reality TV freak-shows. Spoiled brat Donnie Drumpf doesn't offend these fine American idiots, so he's not sunk, and they've actually made him the Republican presidential nominee.
Perhaps he finally went too far today and had his 47% moment when he uttered these memorable words in a North Dakota speech:
"You have to be wealthy in order to be great, I'm sorry to say."
[i.e. "Wealth is all that matters. And I'm really wealthy, so I'm really great!"]
Will this disqualify him at long last? It ought to. Elizabeth Warren is absolutely correct -- Donald Trump is just a small, frightened man who covers his insecurities with gross braggadocio about money, sex and possessions.
But he'll survive, because whenever Trump says something god-awful, the dimwits may recoil at first but then they'll say to themselves, "Wait! I like that! I'll vote for that! I am entertained!"
The damn fools.
