Okay campers, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, citizens, friends, Lomans and countrymen, we need to think about how to take down a marketer.
Here we have the most ubiquitous public presence since Big Brother, and the people, the public, the great unwashed masses are loving it.
It's the problem the Pharisees had in "Jesus Christ Superstar" when they were sitting around contemplating how to deal with this upstart who had captured the imagination of the crowds:
"How do you deal with a carpenter king?
Who is bigger than John was when John did his Baptism thing?"
Trump is bigger than Reagan was when Reagan did his antigovernment thing.
He is there in the morning when you turn on the news. He is there during the day, when you listen to talk radio. He is there at night on the evening news and late night shows. He is all anyone talks about.
So how do you diminish this master of the two word put down?Is he Hobbled Donald? Wobbled Donald? Plump Trump? Donald Gump?
Like Reagan, he's Teflon. Nothing sticks.
Where is Donald Draper when you need him?
Where is the big idea in dealing with this marketing tsunami?
Democrats are old, tired, cats incapable of being herded, bereft of new ideas, clinging to slogans and beliefs which worked before but got swamped by Donald Plump. Go door to door. Talk to your neighbors. Make phone calls from phone banks. Been there. Done that.
Donald has spread pixiedust across the rural heartland. He is the king of all those Alabama's out there between the big cities in every state.
He is selling say it's so and it's so. He's so-so Donald. He changes shape and color with each block. He just flows around obstacles. What do you think about transgenders using public bathrooms? Use whatever bathroom they want to use. Ten seconds later, no, wait. They are sexual predators.
He appeals to that side of people which is always in there: The little kid who wants to believe in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. But those same people had a side which prompted them to vote for Obama.
How do we grow that rich flower of rationality without fertilizing the growth of delusion, which is the weed which will kill the flower?
