Like most Democrat supporters watching television at home, Seth Meyers is ready to shout some words at the leading political figures in the party about how they deal with Donald Trump. Instead of going out to point out his ties are made in China, that he’s easily baited by a Tweet, or that he’s unfit for president, Meyers has some simple advice to be shouted from the rooftops across the nation. His advice? Stay out of it.
Donald Trump is constantly hogging the headlines and shooting himself in almost every extremity he has, so the need for Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to criticize the GOP candidate isn’t really there. Meyers wants the party to let the guy continue to burn down the party from within until its other members — like Paul Ryan or John McCain — come out and tear down their creation.
He compares the GOP leadership to Frankenstein, creating Trump in some sort of lab beneath Karl Rove’s crypt hideout. That’s a stretch, I am aware, but Trump is almost the perfect result of GOP tactics we’ve seen over the years. That and it taps into the division we’ve seen fester during the Obama years and the Tea Party. Now he’s apparently fighting babies, dropping nukes to solve issues, and using Twitter to fight his personal battles.
Meyers’ advice is almost common sense at this point. If the enemy is burning up their own ships in the middle of the fight, listen to the Late Night host and stay out of it.
