3:53Now PlayingThe former comms director for Ted Cruz's failed 2016 Presidential bid asked a question of conservatives this week that needs to be answered: Why is the party willing to worship a loser like Donald Trump. The man never won the popular vote and lost control of the legislative branch, yet Republicans are willing to do whatever it takes to please him. Farron Cousins explains why this makes absolutely no sense.

This past week during an interview on CNN conservative by the name of Alice Stewart, who actually served as a communications director for Ted Cruz's failed 2016 presidential bid asked the question that a lot of Republicans hell every Republican should be asking them themselves. And she asked, why is the Republican party rallying behind this loser, Donald Trump? Because let's not forget folks. The guy's a loser. Okay. He didn't win the election. Therefore, I mean, by literal definition, he is a loser. He lost the popular vote in his first election. Had it not been for our archaic electoral college. He never would have been president to begin with. The guy never cracked an approval rating of over 50%. He lost the house. He lost the Senate. He lost everything for Republicans in force, short years. And there still all heading down to see PAC, to watch him speak and declare himself the face of the Republican party.
And they're like, Ooh, yay. We love you. There is a literal golden statue of Donald Trump. The loser at SeaPak know, the videos are going around a social media, then wheeling it through. During the setup three they've made him into their golden idol. Literally literally violating the first commandment that they all swear to love so much the Bible that's, that's what they do. That's who they are. And they're literally violating the first commandment. I am the Lord, thy, God, you shall have no other gods, but me because they've made the God dang golden idol out of Donald Trump, the loser now repeatedly said, and I still want a real answer to this. What is it about Donald Trump that appeals to these Indians visuals?
Is it his refusal to admit that he's bald? Is it the biggest flabby belly that hangs over his belt? Because if so, I should be on the same level and you all should be grateful. You don't see what happens from here down. Quarantine has not been kind to me, but you know what I mean? Like, okay guys, not, not good-looking, you know, he's been on level with me and that's, you know, not great. I've lived with this my whole life. Trust me. I know, uh, he cheats at golf, so it's not even like, Oh, well he's a good sports athlete. You know, that's why people flock to Tom Brady because he's a great football player. He's got horrible political beliefs. So I could see idolizing him. He has no actual power. He's not a great businessman. He routinely files for bankruptcy. So if you want to latch onto the businessman aspect of it, go worship a Zuckerberg or bayzos. I mean, look, these guys are pure evil. Sure. But they're far more successful in business than Donald Trump. If you want to worship a politician that actually managed to win an election, go back to worshiping Ronald Reagan. Like you used the worship of Donald Trump makes no sense he has cost Republicans, every thing. And yet they still, I mean, this weekend is going to show us. They're still willing to quite literally worship him as a God, as their golden idol.
And nobody really can give an explanation as to why the man is a loser. He was born a loser. He will eventually die a loser. So what the hell is it about him that makes conservatives love him? So dang much. It's creepy. It's weird. And it defies all logic and reason.
