It failed, in to Donald Trump, because Springsteen is a raging, anti-American, poser douchebag, that is why it failed.
Because nowadays, when the subject of Springsteen comes up, to real Americans who are still the majority in this country:
Old worthless Leftist's care. And that is it. That is why he bombed. Nobody cares about his stupid, fake, hardscrabble life story.
What I meant to say is that Springsteen fails in comparison to Donald Trump...
Because Trump, even with his faults, is wholly American and authentic, and Springsteen is anti-American and a fraud.
