What? Me? Really?
Paul Ryan has cut DJT lose and will not campaign with or defend him and the general feeling is that it's due to the video which was released last Friday.
I think it's not because of what has already been disclosed but that he's scared as hell about what's yet to come.
My read is that Ryan is too religious to accept the taped behavior, too political to swallow the insipid bullshit being spun by Robertson and Carson, and too savvy to actually unendorse his party's candidate when serving as Speaker. He instead takes a "moderate" position that is offensive to those who have decency, angering to his Tea Party constituents, and ineffective in making a principled stand for any non-Republican onlookers. It's a losing proposition.
Looks like some transcripts from The Apprentice are starting to surface.
It's almost amusing to watch how an oversized ego perhaps grew from addiction to limelight to giving away to excesses in wrestling and The Apprentice to reduce Trump to a caricature of himself. It's probably an actual syndrome of celebrity addiction and follows an arc for those who find themselves increasingly irrelevant whenever pop culture begins to move on and leave them behind. Trump became more and more unimportant, resulting in more and more outrageous broadcast behaviors, desperate attempts to stay in the buzz. Maybe his presidential runs are merely the last flailings of that, as nothing is as big a rush for his mind than to be discussed as a "credible" candidate for the absolute power position in the White House. He's so close, he can taste it. He is not prepared to lose this time, and not to Hillary.
