(89,951 posts)He reminded that trump is a member of the Screen Actors Guild. He has his SAG card. So he IS a good actor. All CONmen are.
Just as Rachel Maddow has pointed out before - "watch what they DO. NOT what they say." You can smooth-talk anybody. But it's what you DO that proves what your true objective was.
Btw - I was really looking forward to that "late version of 'Hardball'," but it was a big disappointment. And to add trump-lover Robert Davi in there just messed with the whole point of the show. He isn't a comedian or a humorist or anything else, except for a mediocre actor who used to be somebody. At least he only got a minute or so at the end of the show. But that meant Nancy Giles, also shoe-horned in at the end of the show, got short shrift, too.
Bill Maher should have been on Skype or something, or in some local TV studio wherever he physically was, if he couldn't be there in person. They ALL (except for Robert Davi) should have been on a panel together, THERE, IN STUDIO, for a more free-wheeling hour. Everybody looked WAY too controlled. Why didn't they invite Ron Reagan - since the theme obviously was NOT bringing in an all-comedian guest lineup the way it was implied? I'd rather have had him than Bradley Whitford, whose main claim to relevancy here was because, once upon a time, he was a regular on "The West Wing."
That show really missed the mark.
