I think people are missing the point of Trump hiring as his
campaign chief that contemptuous scumbag from Breitbart Bannon, the guy who has
been telling Trump to run his presidential campaign exactly how he ran his
primary campaign – what this hire tells me is that’s exactly what Trump intends
to do and what that tells me is that
Trump’s political brand is more important to him than the presidency – what it
tells me is that Trump has concluded he can still make money off that brand
after the election without having to go to all the bother of actually trying to
win the presidency – those who think Trump won’t pivot because he’s incapable
of such a thing are wrong [well, half wrong] – Trump won’t pivot because doing
so would damage the brand and the brand is all that matters to him when
measured against what would be required to actually try and win an election
that may after all be unwinnable at this point – and if I’m right what Trump is
telling his supporters is that they’re incomprehensibly stupid people who threw
away a real shot at the White House in order to back a charlatan who only ever
cared about serving the interests one thing: himself.
