Red Hat faithful now show their will to bend forward and grab their socks, because of a certainty (bolstered by Trump's own endless bluster), that - HE WON!!!

AlterNet tells the story so read it there. A true born for life grifter will grift as possible, even if being hauled to the gallows in a cart. 

 We got one. 

Were he alive today, P.T. Barnum would have a great affection for Trump. Trump has built a more successful freak show than Barnum ever envisioned. Barnum would take notes.


The quality goes in before the brand name goes on.
Step right up.


Then IS now, and - - - When it is so easy why would Trump ever stop?


___________UPDATE__________
As is clear from above posting, the Crabgrass belief is consonant with the AlterNet item's theme; not a coup attempt but a shakedown of the faithful on the way out the door. An apparently cashflow-successful shakedown.  Not a cashflow failure. Trump and Rudy are deplorables, regardless of how you feel about the term applied to the red hat legion. That said, we wish no ill will toward Rudy, with his recent infection. Nor to those whom he may have infected. 

You judge, how does the term "no brainer" apply to Rudy? The two, Trump and Rudy, seem to be onto cashflow positivity, if that's your measure of a "brainer."


Grifting is as grifting does. What's in it for Paxton? Besides getting his name nationwide AP coverage? Getting Texas, in a way, into the news? Perhaps getting Ted Cruz a chance to step in and argue the case?

FURTHER: A terminology thing, apology to Red Hat Linux folks, you were not meant. Red Cap being used instead; that also conflicts, e.g., here and here. MAGA was meant, and most readers know that. Finally, "Red Hat" usage already happened, e.g., Salon. These days the MAGA crowd, for some reason, seem immune from being called "deplorables." A history at play, a caution resulting.

FURTHER: The AlterNet item links to a different Salon item, here. Enough said. From the numbers of the income stream, more than one is born every minute. Not all deplorable. But some - - - putting money to waste.
