This failure in every venture may be about to achieve his greatest failure yet. He's off balance. It occurs to me that essentialy he heads the Confirmation Bias Party. Confirmation bias underpins the entire creation and use of the hate engine. Libs are ebil. Here's an example. Libs are evil. Here's an example.....Constant confirmation led to the bias.
Donald comes along, shoves the boring GOP leaders out of the way, and wrestles the bullhorn from them. He's now behind the curtain that runs the face of Oz. Trump now holds the strongest hand in the confirmation bias game that the world has ever seen. Fumbling that away is harder than bankrupting a casino.
It's all but impossible.
Impossible?
Trump is not particularly smart about deflecting. His wholesale lack of integrity opens a pretty simple toolbox for the job: the Craftsman Lie Collection. Somebody else did it. This old story is resolved. Fake news. Those people are criminals. Those people are enemies of the state. I never heard of the guy. Y'all know the drill. They've worked unfailingly with the CFB party.
Waddaya know, the CFBs actually have moral standard. Way down below the bars of basic decency, some sort of honesty, loyalty to anything, respect for any laws, lusting for your own daughter, and burying an expouse on a golf course, is the bar that barely clears the low grass: Exploiting the opportunity to rape trafficked teen-aged girls with not a single regret.
The CFB party is not so CF in their B. Trump's obvious somewhat bumbling tricks aren't working. He doesn't have any clever tricks. None of the Craftsman lies seems to fit this tough nut. He squanders a seeming fool-proof gig where the audience lapped up his lies like a dog does vomit.
This actually may be an opening bring him down. If he gets to a tipping point, the quaint old hate-engine GOPs may not save him. They'd rather have a pill like Vance anyway.
I think fatal damage to the republic has already been done. Trump will not be replaced by a Democrat. The gutting of America and wanton cruelty will go on. Science denial in the name of commerce will go on.
Still, a disgraced ranting Trump in handcuffs would give us that blissful moment when someone falling from great height finds and pulls the ripcord. "Sweet Jesus! I'm saved!" The opening parachute slows him for a few seconds before completely separating from the harness.
