The Donald’s con
by digby
I have no idea what will eventually burst Donald Trump’s hot air balloon, but it strikes me that it might be something like this, if it happens on a bigger scale:
Marlon Bateman is Hewitt’s producer.
It’s possible that some of Trump’s supporters may start to balk at evidence that he’s yanking their chains with this confrontational behavior when in private he’s one of the boys.
I don’t know that, of course. It seems as though nothing is shaking their affection for him. But it’s possible that if it they begin to think he’s cynically playing them for fools — in Village parlance is “inauthentic” — it might make them move over to Carson or Cruz. Which isn’t a good thing either …
