Response to Ilsa (Reply #10)
Fri Aug 12, 2016, 01:27 PM
91. Actually, they probably *will* ask him about his "Obama literally founding Isis." In fact....
|
...I'm sure that his consultants are praying that it won't come up in the debates and one of his homework assignments will be to learn to say "I mean Obama created a vacuum where Isis can thrive..." (repeating that till he has it memorized).
 I mean, that's the thing about debates. Your words and decisions come back to haunt you; in a good debate, nothing is off the table. Like when Trump got called out in the primaries about saying women were "pigs" etc.
And that, in the end, is the biggest problem for Donald. You see, he's a joker, but the jokes he likes to tell are the off-color ones that all his "buddies" laugh at--he's exactly the sort who says proudly "I'm not PC! I tell it like it is," and all the white men around him slap him on the back and say "Amen, brother!" But those jokes don't fly if someone takes them apart. "So, you think it's funny to call women pigs? Why? Explain this joke to me." Jokes haven't any power (nor humor) if they're deconstructed. And in a debate, everything and anything could get deconstructed. |
