Well I can tell you that sure as shit no mainstream people are taking this guy seriously.
No shit, Sherlock! So what? The guy obviously wasn't trying to pander to "mainstream people".
(And why the hell should he? The Clintons - and others like them - "sure as shit"
love "mainstream people".)
He was publicly mocking and denouncing the Clintons (which is the only thing they deserve), and trying to provoke a response.
He succeeded. (And of course, the Karens, as usual, are
tut-tut-ing and
tsk-tsk-ing about it.)
Get a respectable looking and acting person to ask the same question and it has a chance to get some traction. If you can't understand that, then we have nothing more to discuss on the topic.
Oh, I understand it perfectly well. I also recognize it for the delusional naivete that it is.
Regardless of how "respectable looking and acting" someone might be, asking such questions will
never be taken "seriously" or have "a chance to get some traction". That's because, to so-called "mainstream people", being "respectable" and "serious" means never even asking such questions in the first place (no matter how nice one's suit and tie might be).
None of which really matters anyway, since, as I already pointed out, he obviously wasn't even trying to do any of that (bold emphasis added):
If you really think that "somebody with a press credential following decorum" and "asking the same questions" is going to accomplish anything at all (such as getting any kind of sincere or genuine - or even just useful - answers), then I honestly don't know what to tell you, other than that your are either deluded or extremely naive (or both). It's already absurd enough that you seem to think this guy's objective was to get any answers in the first place (let alone sincere, genuine, or even just useful ones), rather than to simply make a spectacle of publicly denouncing, embarrassing, and irritating the Clintons.
Nothing is going to change unless and until there are
more (not fewer) people of the kind who are not taken "seriously" by the likes of the Clintons and "mainstream people". (Such disreputable "deplorables" are the reason Hillary and "mainstream people" were so shocked and surprised when she lost in 2016.)
