"Did you see the polls today?" was his primary theme song, "the Wall" his go to whenever the crowd seemed to be drifting off.
He is an entertainer, trying out his shtick, seeing what
the hoi polloi responds best to, creating not a platform but a series of
routines.
When his Don Rickles impression got a thumbs up, Trump
became a serial basher. If one "bit" got tired, or the response sour,
like with his "McCain is no hero", he could just move on in search of
the next victim.
Far too much of America has been taken in by a charlatan, a
deeply flawed candidate masquerading as whatever sells well in the
moment. He is a chameleon, able to change positions in a flash, tethered
not to any beliefs but only to the next routine that gathers applause.
It is not the stuff that heroes are made of. Nor a President.
