Re: Trump Cancels Rally
In all seriousnessness, though, Trump has no personality. He stopped being a real person 30 years ago when he became Trump the Brand. I genuinely believe his being a nativist bombthrower who talks like a Youtube comment is all just a marketing strategy; he's recognized the modern Republican base for what it is -- racist and sexist and stupid and easily swayed by anyone who seems "strong" enough (read: manly, which is why he's done so well against his more sedate, soft-spoken competition) -- and is pandering to them directly. No pretense, no dog whistle terms, just whipping people into a frenzy. I would be very surprised if he didn't morph immediately into a proper statesman upon securing the nomination, especially now that a lot of the establishment GOP is deciding to grudgingly get behind him because they hate Cruz more.
Re: Trump Cancels Rally
(Anonymous) 2016-03-12 01:49 am (UTC)(link)I agree with the first part of your analysis, but I don't see how this follows from it. He has no persona and cares for nothing besides instant gratification and power - what about that says "wants to be a statesman" to you?
I'm not saying he'll keep saying the same things, or being the same kind of insane that he is right now. I do think he'll keep doing whatever ridiculous thing benefits him the most and sounds the best in any given moment without any regard for decency or outcomes or morals, and I think it's dangerously naive to expect otherwise.
