Domenech: Trump Has Modern Presidential Qualities; Dancing to Drake and Tweeting

‘This is the sort of thing that I think is as much driven by the demand of the people for entertainment as it is the media actually asking questions here’

DOMENECH: "But, David, it’s there a problem here that has emerged that’s not so much due to the media as it is due to the priorities of the people themselves? I mean right now we just saw Donald Trump go on and demonstrate the qualities that one needs to be commander in chief in the modern era, which is an ability to dance to drake and an ability to send out particularly funny tweets. I mean, you know, frankly, if your attitude is that you’re fine with the government offering people bread and circuses, you might as well hire the guy who seems like Barnum and Bailey. This is the sort of thing that I think is as much driven by the demand of the people for entertainment as it is the media actually asking questions here. If you really wanted to dig into policies related to what Ben Carson thought about TPP or about trade, about — about foreign relations or the like, that’s probably going to get a lot less attention at this stage than asking him something about the pyramids."
