That was also apparent in the movie. The ego comes in with the captain. He had choices and made bad decisions with the lives of his crew on the line, knowing what the environment portended. And for what? For Whom? We live in lag time until we decide we've had enough and what?
He had bills to pay.His decision was based on that.The book isn't a novel.
If you read the book you'll see each crewmember had the same simple motivation,basically to pay the bills for their minimal existence.They weren't greedy,egotistical and probably despised swordfish with all their hearts.It was just a crappy job.They were overwhelmed by the forces of nature.Sometimes good people and good things get squashed.

The whole screamplay was probably not so hard to predick. The country has literally fallen into the makings of the perfect storm. What to say or do about it is a fair trick to conjure. Anyhow in the movie by that title the ship and crew are lost at sea, all for the love of money or swordfish or ego or something...

A few days ago our Mr Rotekz posted a crudely drawn cartoon that showed some golden-maned, sunbeam-spreading Trump character extending a welcoming hand to a Bernie character who was wallowing in monochromatic filth. Each depiction had a few adjectives around the figures. I can't remember exactly what most of them were but none were surprising; bestowing some godlike attributes on Trump and describing Bernie in the most demeaning terms the illustrator could find in his thesaurus. I dismissed it because it was ridiculous but got the feeling that, like rotekz seems to do, it was using some words that seem inappropriate (in a "that doesn't mean what you think it means" sort of way). The one adjective I do recall was "cuckold," certainly a term of derision but what's that got to do with... oh holy fuck, now Trump's talking about the size of his dick! That's no accident, was it? This whole campaign is literally an appeal to some primitive desire in some people to be dominated. They are literally turned on by this man, he's their sexual Alpha, and want nothing more than to be reassured that he's got the goods. That sonofabitch Trump knew this going in, and even got Rubio to play along by design or is he complicit? I don't know. I should put this in crazy conspiracy theories because it's batshit crazy but hey. I'll just let it sit here until Lazy comes in to talk me down.
I don't think I ever want to be a participant in any conversation about Donald Trump's dick, and I'm not gonna speculate on anybody else's sex life. Sorry, I got nothin' here.
Just wish Bill Hicks was here to mock him.

Ok. If you accept that particular website's top "popular" definition and example (Doug has the penis of a young boy and has never given his wife Jill an orgasm. His choice was divorce or be a cuckold. He is now a fully submissive cuckold to Jill.)
But I honestly think that is probably a rather recent and therefore trendy (think geological time) interpretation. However, English being what it is, we must accept the descriptive as well as the prescriptive. Those of us that majored in literature will always be torn between the two.
As far as Trump is concerned, you may well be right. Nothing really surprises me anymore, ya know?
Well I was more specifically directing your attention to one of the "definitions" that includes a helpful link to "how to" information. I gather, from having obviously spent too much time on the internet yet somehow not enough to have become familiar with what's down that particular pathway, that there is a world of eyebrow-raising proclivities that some (perhaps Mr. Trump) are fully aware of and participate in, and another, apparently vast, population drawn to it without a clear understanding of why. Or maybe it's sort of clear.
A cuckold is the husband of an adulterous wife. In evolutionary biology, the term is also applied to males who are unwittingly investing parental effort in offspring that are not genetically their own.
Nowhere in the word's etymology is organ size an attributable portion of the definition.
Waiting for Lazy....
That still leads one to ask "what does that have to do with Trump & Sanders?" but I suspect you already know there's more to it than the dictionary definition.

Many of the people supporting, and presumably voting for Drumpf in primaries are not registered Republicans. He is not doing well in closed primaries/caucuses limited to registered Rs (Oklahoma). He is currently on track to lose another closed caucus (Kansas) as well. Louisiana and Maine are also closed caucus states voting today. So his ceiling with registered Rs may yet be his undoing. Other big closed caucus/primary states lie ahead, including Arizona, California, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania. Will they provide the firewall the GOP is scrambling for?
I was really quite surprised that he lost Oklahoma to Cruz. I guess the "I like people who hear voices" crowd outnumbers the "I hate everyone who isn't like me" crowd by a winning margin here.
