8. I usually cringe away when actors make fools

of themselves in some way, but especially politically. The best acting in the world won't rescue a Churchill played by a man I know to be a small-minded, group-think idiot. But Scott Baio? WHAT show was he in?

"...he’s standing behind The Donald for reasons he deemed as “simple.” “When he speaks I understand him [Good grief!],” Baio told Pirro. “He speaks like I speak. He communicates with people very well.”

The 55-year-old actor, who said he considers himself a conservative independent, added that he wants the former “Apprentice” star to go to Washington and “blow it up,” because he’s “fed up” with the Republicans and their lies. (We guess Trump’s lies are OK, though.)

“Lastly,” he said, “We need somebody to relentlessly, relentlessly attack Hillary. And that’s the only way we’re going to win.”

That is actually an enormous insight for so many. Slow learners the lot of them -- those who have finally come to that realization. Now, if only more do not react by kicking in the national walls, peeing on the carpet, and tearing out the plumbing out of spite.

I think is trying to live up to that role.

If you don't get the character name, say it out loud.
