From Clay Jones on his political cartoon “Debate That Badonkadonk” and how former Fox News chief Roger Ailes might be prepping Donald Trump for debates
I don’t believe the word “badonkadonk” is one I would ever use in a conversation. “Bow chicka bow wow,” however… . Naturally, I had to look up how to spell both words. Did you know there’s a country song titled “Badonkadonk?” Do yourself a favor and do not look it up. I don’t want to be blamed if you listen to it.
Donald Trump continues to be tone deaf and unrealistic. He campaigns in states he doesn’t stand a chance of winning, like Wisconsin, Maine, and Connecticut. He complains that the polls are turning against him, yet he’s not actually campaigning. He gives a speech about how the Democrats are exploiting African Americans to an entirely white audience.
Trump has called women “dogs,” “fat pigs,” “slobs,” and “bimbos.” He accused Megyn Kelly of having “blood coming out of her whatever.” He kicked a mother and her baby out of one of his hate rallies. He said if his daughter was sexually harassed at work that he’d expect her to just find a new job.
Trump is losing the women vote to Hillary Clinton by double-digit margins in seven key battleground states.
So what’s his next move in this area? Recruit his buddy and recently ousted Fox News chief Roger Ailes to prep him for his debates against a woman. Ailes was kicked out of the right-wing news organization after allegations of sexual harassment from former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson. Now he’s facing the same accusation from at least 19 more women.
Trump has denied Ailes is helping him prepare for the debate and states that he doesn’t need coaching and isn’t preparing at all. He’s probably just planing to talk about his and Bill Clinton’s penises.
Ailes has a lot of history of helping Republican presidential candidates prepare for debates, from making Nixon look cuddly, Reagan look awake, and George H.W. Bush appear in touch with reality. Maybe he can make Trump look like something other than a dumbass.
Trump is not doing well with Millennials, Hispanics, Blacks, the educated, people who know stuff, or women. I’m not sure that Trump, a serial philanderer, can boost those numbers by having a serial sexual harasser coach him to beat up a woman.
