(190 posts)2. I saw this guy on Bill Maher's show.
Just another guy stuck on "political correctness". Trump's platform of racism and xenophobia won him the Republican primary, not his lack of "political correctness." I agree with his assessment that Trump is a dangerous and ignorant candidate, but his rant on political correctness is tiresome.

(64 posts)3. Harris is in love with his own mind.
He is also rather dangerous in my opinion. His intolerance reveals him to be more similar to those he critiques than different.

but I thought his critique of Trump was well rationalized, very calmly delivered.
