Coarse Discourse

Megyn Kelly will get another shot at Trump. His reaction to her barbs got him in trouble. Misogynist. So. He called Christie fat. Rubio sweaty and short. Jebra low energy. Fiorina’s face. Hillary’s voice. All targets. Equal opportunity insulter. That’s who he is. Is that okay? No. But, we know what we are getting. Now Rubio and Romney have sunk to his level. Name-calling. Schoolyard banter. A new standard for political discourse?

On The Donald’s Blue Monster at Doral, youngsters will also play today. McIlroy. Spieth. Day. Oy. Vey.

Not really. Trump is not an ideologue who craves power. He is rather a pragmatic demagogue. His new call to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. is a dangerous extreme and crosses the line. That’s his negotiating strategy. Start with the most outrageous to shape the debate. Congress is already voting to ban immigrants from certain countries. His end game is to make America tougher.

Simplistic brazen narcissism? Yes. Will he win? Maybe. Unless rest of the Repubs can rally around one candidate. Not sure who that would be.
