Welcome to my daily political musings. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy!
I can’t really blame Donny for not wanting to compare thought processes with our formidable Ms. K. She, no doubt due to years of listening to all manner of proposed alternate realities, has an extensive set of B.S. hexing body English, replete with appropriate facial expressions, which are honed to utilitarian perfection. She has a “Go ahead; I know you’re about to spout pure horse dukey” face that communicates loud and clear that she’s got the goods should you wish to check.
I think that was disconcerting for Donny.
I mean, what’s the use of telling a whopper if nobody’s even going to act like they believe it?
When the line a guy has used for years, and with success, is suddenly rebuffed, the guy will often feel flustered, like Donny the other night at the Thought Comparison, aka Debate.
Frankly, I thought Ms. K had an unfair advantage. She played with her prey like he was a mouse, and she was a, well, I have to say it, cat. I don’t know, but there is a possibility that she was having a little subliminal fun with him just to get even with his Jr. Partner. She being a childless cat lady and all.
I do think she’s a bit green, still, and that nervousness did not look presidential. But I much prefer her rookie miscues to his deliberate flibbertigibbet-ting about Haitians eating pets in Ohio. He knows that’s B.S., but he says it because it gets him in the news. She makes a face, and the world knows she knows he’s full of his most obnoxious self. He gets in the news because of the outrageous things he claims. She gets in the news because of the things she does.
I’m not surprised that she moved up a notch in the polls after that performance the other night. I would still like to see her act and react in real-time to show off the skill set she actually has. I think it would be as good for her as it would be for all the rest of us.
Maybe we could start a write-in campaign for another Thought Comparison? That would be fun, but I don’t think waterboarding Donny is going to make any voters change their minds about the guy, do you?
