The concept of cool and the delusion of having it. Pt. 1

     As I watch the final debate last night, I wonder where Trump went wrong. I no longer am puzzled by how he went right and scored the Republican nomination. When he was up against a herd of men (albeit one woman) his 'cool' was extremely effective. Taking the stance of a detached bemused elitist was gobbled up by a class of men who see themselves as being just like that. trump didn't say much then except barbed direct insults to his opponents, and it worked, just as it did in the movies with Eastwood, Stallone and Schwarzenegger. The women who backed Trump then tended to be the type who see themselves in a mirror existing within a man's world.

     But then he had to debate a woman, one on one. Trump thought that it would be easy, thought he knew women, thought all he would need was to bring his usual sense of bravado, of 'cool', to the debate and he would handily win over Hillary Clinton. She was a women, after all, wasn't she?

     There are as many opinions on women by women as there are women. As varied as fingerprints, with personalities as varied as snowflakes. Trump likely knows this, as deep down everyone knows it. It's a truth too simple NOT to intuit, see, witness and experience for all who have had contact with more than two women in their life. (Naturally, all of this is also true of men, but we're talking for the sake of gender politics here.)
