Who's Next?
Frankly, I'm amazed.
Donald Trump is still out in the lead in the field of GOP candidates for president.
You gotta' give him credit, somehow.
Despite the fact that leaders in his own party want nothing to do with him, he continues to build momentum.
Which is absolutely remarkable.
Considering:
1). He said John McCain isn't a hero because he likes his war veterans not taken prisoner.
He got away with that one by saying that he never said it.
2). He called Mexicans rapists.
Now I know how he got away with this one...people who are voting for him...agree with him. It would make sense that an entire race of people can't be labeled as violent rapists...but:
3). He ranted against Muslims and the Syrian refugees saying that the Muslims were actually numbered in the thousands and cheering in New Jersey when the towers went down.
There's no footage of such a demonstration.
But he's got his team 'looking for footage' but he claims that the technology wasn't quite up to snuff way back in 2001.
All news footage is gone from those long ago days...apparently.
4). He made fun of a reporter with a physical disability.
Trump really stepped over the line here, holding his hand up and babbling incoherently in a clear imitation of a reporter who has a physical defect.
The man who 'tells it like it is' then said that he had no idea that the reporter had a physical ailment and that he'd never batter someone who had an ailment.
Despite the fact that he said 'You should see this guy' before holding his hand up in a crippled fashion and doing a dance on stage.
5). He has trashed the Bush family, Obama, Hillary, Ben Carson, Fiorina, Huckabee, Chris Christie, and every other single person he has had the pleasure to talk about.
He does this as a petulant third-grader who is running for class president and makes no apologies.
It's funny.
Unfortunately it may be unbecoming for the top office in the land.
Will he do imitations of world leaders?
I can imagine his Kim Jong or Putin dances.
6). He berated a female reporter who asked him why he referred to some women as pigs. He's had a long-standing battle with women and women's rights.
Despite the fact that his news footage only goes back to 2002 or so there is plenty of footage of him berating nearly every woman on the planet.
Anywhoha...
Let's do the tally:
He pissed off:
1). War Veterans
2). Women
3). People with Disabilities
4). The Hispanic Population of America
5). The Muslim population of America
6). His own political party
7). The other political party
Who's next?
But here's the thing:
He's still in the lead!!!
God help us all.
