Well, when you get down to it, "worth a damn" is even more relative. The American political system has evolved into just what you see. It's self-perpetuating. The real casualty is; People still support it and they still draw their lines and defend them, in spite of it not being worth a damn. That part, I do not understand.
I also do NOT don't see Trump's total lack of experience as being a good thing. As I told a friend of mine; If he were running for mayor of NYC? That would be different. Get some on-the-job training in familiar waters. Do what you think you do best and see how it goes. But, to get your sea legs as the President of The United States, at this point in time? No fvcking way, dude. And, certainly not with what this guy is touting as things to be proud of or admired for.
He comes-off, to me, as a sleazy, arrogant prick who has risen to massive financial wealth off-the-backs of others (and having come from wealth) and gloats about how he has exploited and worked this political system that is not "worth a damn." I have no doubt that he does possess a grand marketing knowledge and can see a business opportunity when it arises. Great for him and those he has favor with. But, for average Americans? No, thanks. Someone who has learned to flourish in that system, and milk it and make it even worse by buying both sides, is not going to change it... at all. That's all they know. That's all he wants to know. I think the guy did this on a lark, pretty much, with a dash of revenge thrown-in from Obama's comments about him at the dinner. He took it personal. And, to his credit, he got even. Now, he's in too deep, and he knows it, but his ego isn't about to let go. And, the following that has built around him makes him believe he's "right."
