Really? Do you Really Blame The Don?

[busterbrown]

The Huge question which should be asked is: How the hell did he get nominated in the 1st place.?????

How? I’ll tell ya...The Republican Party which represents only the interests of the wealthy have been using for the past 40 yrs uneducated, low informed, basically voters who are uber nationalistic, misogynistic, homophobic, racists to ignore their own bests interests to support the financial agendas of the top earning Americans...

No I don’t blame Trump.. I blame all those politicians who represent the wealthy, who put Trump on their shoulders and paraded him down the Trump Tower’s escalators....

Fuck All Of Em!

1. Don't forget the media that gave him all that free airtime

Speaking of which...

CNN is airing a Trump infomercial right this minute. I sh*t you not.

2. MSNBC aired a similar piece at 8.00

3. Instead of showing "Real Inmates of XYZ Prison"?

I guess that's an improvement.

6. Also 17 person field. Really 10-12 but the votes were so spread out he won with <30%

Early on

4. "We couldn't have done it without you." The last line in the show Chicago

about how 2 murdresses use the press and popularity/celebrity to get away with it. The fact that the newspaper readers loved to hear the gritty stories in graphic detail worked to their advantage.

7. Excellent comparison!

5. the Repub leadership used him after the corporate media...

gave him unprecedented free advertising because he brought eyeballs to the screen. They were using him too but the media made him acceptable by apologizing constantly for his racism, xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny, and every other hateful thing he said. They made him appear acceptable by never asking a difficult question and never demanding an answer more complicated than, "...we will so much winning...I will make America great again..." They normalized his unacceptable babblings and called him a politician and praised him for being a great business man when he was never any such thing. They made him acceptable by the use of false equivalency constantly comparing him favorably or even saying he was so much more honest than Hillary.

The corporate media created this monster and the Repub leadership saw a chance to jump on the bandwagon. They all knew he was an ignorant pig but they also thought they could either control him or intimidate him into behaving. They problem with that idea is that no one can intimidate a psychopath.

The corporate media created this monster.

8. I blame him, along with the lame MSM and the crooked RW media,

the people who worship celebrities or the wealthy simply because they are celebrities or wealthy. I could go on. There is a lot of blame to go around. Trump is their Frankenstein.

[busterbrown]

10. But could you really blame Frankenstein?

Doc Frankenstein created the Monster..Which ended up being a crazed maniac..Wouldn’t you blame the Doctor ?

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

11. Sorry, bad comparison. Unlike Dr. Frankenstein's monster,

Trump is responsible for his own bad behavior.

Then again, he couldn't have got himself nominated as the Republican candidate for the presidency without the the support of the Party. So, yeah. Maybe we could say they created this monster in his present form.

9. fRump did use the standard insecurity of every other gop candidate to his advantage

But then it's easy to be a rude blow-hard when you're really not looking for a career in politics, and everyone else is.

He figured out how to use their vulnerability to climb over the bodies, and he knows that 30% of the u.s. electorate will back whoever ends up on the official rnc posters and ads.

[pnwmom]

12. Right. It's no accident that he ran as a Republican.

He knew he could blow right through them.
