    I’m not sure they can. Embracing weird would mean acknowledging that their own positions are not the moral majority, perfect, divinely correct ideas they think they are, and it might cause a few people to look around and realize how silly it is to wear an ear bandage to a scorching hot rally to hear an old man ramble.

      An old man that was also wearing an unnecessary ear bandage.

      I think that’s a risk, but Trump’s pathological ego will not allow anybody to call him weird, or strange, or abnormal.

      My only concern is it is the start of August, and this weird argument is very powerful. I wish we were doing this in late September. My worry is weird will park and become old and stale by November.
