Political Theater Critic
Those who tuned in to Fox News for the first Republican
Presidential Debate were treated to the center stage spectacle of an insult
comic campaigning for CEO of USA Inc. The obnoxious billionaire started off by threatening
to run as a third party candidate, basically blackmailing his party into
nominating him.
The arrogant game show host didn’t offer any
policies or positions, but did take the time to tell viewers what he doesn’t
have time for, pompously reminded everyone he was rich enough to purchase
political favors, and continued his puerile attempt to promote himself by
putting everyone else down.
Despite declaring himself the winner, the
former beauty pageant sponsor still felt that Megyn Kelly had treated him
unfairly by bringing up his history of demeaning women. On CNN the next day he
called her a bimbo.
It’s no surprise that this thin-skinned
celebrity is leading the polls. There are plenty of people who see in the Prima
Donald their own dumbed-down version of the American dream: having a bank
account big enough to buy whatever they want, yet still getting to behave like
the same boorish slob they were when they were barely scraping by on a small
weekly paycheck.
