13079648, Trump's run has and always has been about his ego
Posted by LA2Philly, Sun Oct-09-16 11:04 PM
We saw the same thing tonight...nothing of what he did or said actually pulled in voters outside of his base. By all accounts he was supposed to go into the debate contrite and apologetic but that went by the wayside because all he cares about his stoking his own ego and much of that comes through his thick-headed hooting and hollering supporters. When you're down in a general election and actually want to win, you have to reach outside of your base....this run has always been about Trump wanting more attention and all this shit has done is boost his ego more. He's going to lose, he will rationalize it (which he's been doing since pretty much day 1 after getting the RNC nomination with all the "media is rigged" innuendo and then today with all his talk of things being unfair during the debate), and continue in his own little bubble without any ramifications.

He's the ultimate example of white privilege and there's a reason his major voting base is uneducated male whites: they all want to be him and they cannot stand the fact that a black president and a female president essentially seals the fact that they are losing control of one of the major machinations of the country.
