I do dislike him intensely, but even more I am saddened that this poltroon can come along in the wake of a President as amazingly competent as Barack Obama, who has permanently raised the bar for modern American Presidents.

At the exact same time, Donald Trump is the voice of everything stupid, ignorant, and hateful in America, and an astonishing number of people seem to be perfectly okay with that.

Worse than Wallace, who didn't use 7th grade name calling. Kingofalldems Jul 2016 #1
