That&#8217;s the depth of the discourse on issues that Trump is capable of, and it perfectly reflects the intellectual capacity of his audience. And Trump knows it. That&#8217;s why <a href=\"http:\/\/bigstory.ap.org\/article\/b8501561367545ae927210b8818f4e71\/trumps-tells-connecticut-voters-hes-not-toning-it-down\" target=\"_blank\">he said the following<\/a> this weekend:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You know, being presidential is easy \u2014 much easier than what I have to do. Here, I have to rant and rave. I have to keep you people going. Otherwise you&#8217;re going to fall asleep on me, right?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Right! Trump is acknowledging that his supporters are low attention span blockheads who can&#8217;t concentrate unless they are being subjected to the neanderthal ranting and raving that is the hallmark of a Trump rally. But what&#8217;s truly pathetic is that they cheer him even while he&#8217;s insulting them as shallow peons who require vulgar stimulation to remain awake. It&#8217;s a perverse sort of political masochism that excites Trump&#8217;s submissives as well as the dominant, dictatorial tendencies of Trump.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, if it were easy for Trump to be presidential he would not have spent the last ten months insulting women, African-Americans, Muslims, and his GOP colleagues. He would not have brazenly lied more than any candidate in modern history (see the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=30264\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Bullshitopedia<\/a>). And he would not have repeatedly embarrassed himself by acting like a buffoon and affirming the most repulsive behavior of the past few decades, including that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=30480\" target=\"_blank\">he wants to bang his daughter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The fact that an elitist, narcissistic, billionaire, born into wealth and privilege, inspires such demented reverence on the part of his lowbrow, glassy-eyed disciples is a troubling sign for the Republican Party.
