And it isn't Trump!
No, the Narcissist of the Day is Cornell West. West, as a scholar, had a good idea 35 years ago and rode that to a sort of scholarly celebrity. However, he backed Ralph Nader in 2000. That's a huge negative against him in my book. When he backed Jill Stein in 2016, that's it. Fuck that guy. He actually came to our school and I refused to go see him out of spite.
Now, he's launched a similar vanity campaign that is very specifically designed to siphon votes from Biden. And who's funding it? Harlan Fucking Crow.
I have a hunch that the next six months will see Biden's election numbers improve as Trump's legal troubles accelerate and people realize that their choice - like it or not - is between a guy you wished were ten years younger and a guy you wished was in prison already.
Trump's only avenue to winning is a third party spoiler like West. That seems to be his raison d'etre in politics: electing Republicans with a minority of the vote.
