ā€œPolitical Pros Dissect Why The Trump Convention Has Been A Disaster So Far.ā€

Leonard Pinth-Garnell:

The opening night of Trump Playhouseā€™s performance of ā€œBad Political Theaterā€ was exquisitely awful.

From the stunningly-unpleasant Chachi act, to the monumentally-ill-advised Giuliani number.

The only thing more unrelentingly-bad was the astonishingly-dreadful Michelle Obama impersonation.

This amateur cast is so deliciously-appalling that the entire production is sure to close by weekā€™s end.

The problem with trying to grasp Trumpā€™s campaignā€™s disarray is this: He is not running a political campaign. He is not a serious candidate. It is a corporate branding campaign. He was able to dupe the GOPā€™s base but only because the GOP ā€˜eliteā€™ insured the base was kept ignorant and mad at that black man in the Whitehouse. And the very best case in point are Trumpā€™s statesman-like remarks in Scotland following the Brexit vote:

ā€œItā€™s gonna be great for my golf resort!ā€

Scotland voted to remain in the European Union.

There is no real message to step on; although, if the campaignā€™s message is that white folk should be very scared and that the answer is a police state, last night was spot on message.

This is what happens when you throw a convention together at the last minute. Chaos and pandemonium. Which is the atmosphere Trump thrives upon.

Whatā€™s crazy is this will probably have no effect on his campaign whatsoever. After all, is anyone really surprised by the unprofessionalism and disorganization? What does shock me is that some people actually think itā€™s a good idea to entrust the Presidency to someone with his personality and character.

I just want the ratings to tank. I want every advertiser, media company and news organization to see their ad revenue tank during the Republican Convention so Trump can have yet another LOSER fake gold chain hung around his neck. Trump bills himself as ratings gold, if he doesnā€™t come out on top, every night, and by a decent margin, heā€™s simply another conservative loser who promises and canā€™t deliver.

I guess it might, but, I wonder if it actually does pretty well. Cheeto Jesus seems to be a trainwreck we canā€™t not watch.

All well and good, but he has a one in four chance of winning. Would you get on a plane that had a one in four chance of - forget crashing - being stuck on the runway for six hours?

Sure, itā€™s a disaster but does it matter? Has it or will it actually convince any of his true believers to jump ship?
