I said a few months ago that Trump is a mix of P.T. Barnum and Elmer Gantry. Shortly after that, Newt Gingrich said that he was a strange mix of PT Barnum, Alexander the Great, and Theodore Roosevelt. Welcome to the club.
No one does pompous quite as well as Ole’ Newtie.
I’m wonder if anyone will take this game all the way to it’s logical messianic conclusion, we’re getting pretty close.
Elmer Gantry? Gantry was a fake who exploited his religious but none too wise followers.
And there certainly has been some of that in this primary but we all know who has been playing that card and it hasn’t been Trump.
