He's betting you can't believe he's that bad and wants to do that to you. He's daring you to elect him. He's betting that, even knowing the story of Adam and Eve is a metaphor for all time, there's always the likelihood you'll take the dare rather than till and trim the garden; that he's right ... Well we know he _is_ or at least he's making it all sound like he is. But the truth is that he's neither right nor left. He's focused directly on himself. And he's being certain that you know all you need to know about him. You know that he lies - he's a politician. Their job, at least partially, is to lie as little as possible, effectively, to get what their constituents want. The dare he's making is that, knowing he's a cheat, a misogynist, a racist, a thief, a lecher, you will still vote him into an office from which he can employ others just like him to change our entire environment to... render unto him.

Donald is betting that enough of us won't be smart enough to ignore his dare. He doesn't care what else his constituents want, as long as they want him. He can afford to promise everybody who feels limited by any law, regulation, commandment, rule, whatever they want, for a price or not. Once he's got them, he can play them off against each other as long as any of them last. He will have demonstrated that rules don't count. Reality itself hasn't the strength of the lies concocted around it.
