The guy talks like a third grader.
Obama is a very smooth talker. So is Cruz. So there you go.
Me being critical of so-called “progressives” is not me laying out an argument for Trump.
The man is quite intelligent, so I think he’s adopted an idiom, a false mode of expression, that he believes will relate to people and the sometimes overt crudeness of his mannerisms reflects an attitude about those he is trying to approach.
It is, I believe, a cynical form of conviviality.
I can, sadly, see it. Not necessarily how Trump does, though. Many on the right have been reluctant to embrace the good arguments for constitutional governance because those undermine the foul, fetid waters of FDR’s legacy. The left has been dominated by various forms of mindlessness ever since it came to adopt a revolution-like notion of progress from things rather than to something, or landmark-less wondering on the mudflats of moral madness and ethical duplicity.
