Same thing with the crowd size and popular vote obsessions. It’s not the crowd size or vote totals per se that matter, it’s the fact that Presidents that engage in loud, heated months-long feuds with reality end up with credibility problems. The fact that a shocking proportion of a Republican primary debate was devoted to disputing the reputed size of Trump’s penis was not an outlier. This is the current state of politics–and now we have added “wiretapp” to our lexicon to describe such divorced-from-fact disputes, and a healthy and growing stable of websites devoted to keeping those disputes alive and inventing new ones.
