Trump’s Greatest Hits: The Young Turks Decide If His Past Will Hurt or Help Him
On Friday, The Young Turks power panel of Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz, John Iadarola, and RJ Eskow decide whether or not Donald Trump’s past antics will help or hurt him in the 2016 elections.
TYT’s Jayar Jackson created a highlight reel of some of Trump’s memorable media ‘buffoonery’ which includes a clip of Trump making a sexual pass at Rudy Giuliani, while Giuliani is dressed in drag. After reviewing the compilation, Uygur says, “I actually think that helps him.” The rest of the panel agrees.
Mankiewicz explains why Trump is so appealing to his base. Drawing from a Politico report on a Flesch-Kincaid grade-level test, “Donald Trump scored like a 4th grade reading level based on his responses in the debate,” Mankiewicz says.
He adds, “If you think this little piece of information is suddenly going to click and people are going to say, ‘oh wait a minute this guy is dumb I’m going to stop supporting him.’ That ship has sailed. They don’t care.”
This level of comprehension gives Trump the advantage to connect with people, “He knows how to communicate. In a dumb way. It’s very effective for him,” Eskow points out. Trump is notorious for overusing words like, ‘dummy’ and ‘loser’ and even if he is at an elementary reading level, The Young Turks decide that this will help him.
