I read today that Newt Gingrich is planning to meet with Donald Trump, which immediately led me to ask myself: Why?
While it's true that I wrote a couple of blogs about Trump, fully realizing he wasn't worth the keystrokes, I wanted to note that I not only thought he was the emptiest of suits, I couldn't imagine how anyone could care about him at all. I do know, however, that he's apparently host of a popular TV show I've never watched and perhaps that makes his endorsement worthwhile. But then so would be the blessings of Pat Sajak, Vanna White, Pee Wee Herman and Monty hall.
As far as the real world goes though, I'm not sure I'd want to be touted by a guy who tanked almost every deal he ever touched including his bankrupt real estate companies, some casinos and an airline.
But, as far as the public's concerned, they often don't dig into details and readily buy the smoke, mirrors and hype which is why lot's of high profile names keep their image intact despite their travails and failures. And I guess you don't have to look much further than the Clinton's, the Kennedy's and the Obama's to understand how that works.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
