Trump on TV reading from a teleprompter...and doing it really badly.

Seems like if someone is going to write a speech for him...They need to at least write it so it kind of matches his own 3rd grade speech patterns. (Apologies to some really smart 3rd graders I know.)

against both Bill and Hillary. All the rumors that few believed when they were at least 'fresh'.

No one apparently told him that during the Starr inquisition, Bill's approval rating rose. On the day the Republican house voted to impeach him, it went up to around 72%.

Probably because he knew he sucked at it. That is one thing Reagan was really good at: reading his lines. He was able to read out the most vile right wing shit and make it sound folksy. Trump is no Reagan, thankfully.

He knew how to work a room, play for the cameras, even if he was as dumb as rocks.

I think comparing him to a third grader is being too kind..........I know kindergarteners who can do a much better job.

semi-assault weapons (IMHO) including Donald Trump, who continually assaults American sensibilities.
