Who made "sui generis" the phrase of the day on MSNBC ?

I haven't heard that phrase since college and I feel like I'm hearing it every 5 minutes today. Chuck used it and now Chris Hayes dumped it on Donna Brazzile.

Why can't they just say "Is trump a class of his own or is he really a republican".

Sheesh.

mostly from Chris Hayes, but also from guests and journalists such as Eugene Robinson.

Basically, the media is struggling to figure out Trump's rise and how to cover him, and have written numerous pieces about it.
