It was always inevitable that Trump would bomb at the Libertarian convention. Libertarians believe things. Now, I just so happen to think that they believe stupid things that would not and cannot work, even if those beliefs are rooted in an understandable philosophy such as "Government should not get in peoples way". They are beliefs nonetheless, sincerely held and defended.

Trump believes nothing. He doesn't even really believe in himself. It's all an act to paper over the obvious hollowness of his life, the privilege and comfort of wealth that somehow never managed to translate into happiness. The gilded towers that still sit in the shadow of his father's example. He's a fundamentally broken man at this point, willing to say and do anything for another bite of the apple. He is a golem animated by other people's demons.

Of course they heckled that.

Just wondering - is "Alison" Cooper any relation to Anderson?

Yep. That's what he calls Anderson Cooper. A dig on him being gay. (I just learned this today from Meidas Touch - https://meidasnews.com/.)

"A golem animated by other people's demons." Powerful and chilling.
