Is he on the Trump train, or just commenting?

Is he on the Trump train, or just commenting?

His entire tone has changed from weeks ago.

just commenting, but comments have all been favorable, maybe seeing the writing on the wall and hoping to help out the GOP in the general election?

Entertaining the Citizen: When Politics and Popular Culture Converge

The book he recommends seem interesting:

Can politics be combined with entertainment? Can political involvement and participation be fun? Can citizenship be pleasurable? These and similar questions have forced themselves upon us again and again in the past years: they were, for instance, raised by Arnold Schwarzenegger's election as governor of California. They were implicit in the meetings between U2 lead singer Bono and world leaders, which concerned Third World debts. They were behind the outcry that greeted the proposal, by American cable network FX, to run a televised political popularity contest in the vein of American Idol, with the purpose of selecting presidential candidates. They were inherent in the acclaim for the award-winning television series The West Wing, a fictional portrayal of day-to-day political processes in the White House. They were heightened in the dispute about the portrayal of Ronald and Nancy Reagan in the 2003 television series The Reagans, which made CBS decide not to air the show on network television.

Really? This is a question now?

Go ask the ancient Romans. The Colosseum would be a good place to start.

The answer was so well-known that they even had an idiomatic expression for it: panem et circenses.

Campaign professionals are just that; very few of them are motivated by ideology.

I liked the movie Gladiator. Thought it was pretty awesome back when I saw it. Looked like it could have been fun and been an awesome team building experience and knowing how to work the crowd?

He pretty much hates the trump because of what he has seen from his supporters, but he disagrees strongly with the methods they are using to try to take him down.

Rand should have talked to Donald directly instead of referring to him in the third person. It was weak.

I saw the circus, where's my damn panem?
