Theatre of the Absurd

Political campaigning in the United States during this 2016 Election campaign has rivalled and exceeded the most "absurd" forms of theatre ever put on stage. Trump uses every kind of logical fallacy -- and repeats ridiculous lies -- until some news organization picks it up, and then by conversation alone, it becomes an issue.

So far in the last few days: Hillary Clinton is a murderer -- though cleared by the hyper-political Benghazi Republican Committee; Hillary is a husband-abuser -- Bill Clinton actually had a black eye while in office; Hillary is a crook, earning billions from Wall Street donations -- Foundation, not her, got money NOT while she was in public office--NGO audited, funds all accounted for, no graft, no "crooked Hillary." More charges and outrageous statements will do doubt follow.

It is (Trump's Campaign is...) ABSURD! Just like Theatre of the Absurd!!!
