Trump really is a generational political talent. He might single-handedly resurrect moribund center-left parties around the world if he keeps making "endorsements." Mark Carney has the charisma and energy of the Treasurer of the second-biggest professional association of funeral home directors in Indiana and Donald Trump singlehandedly made him look like Che.
No one else in the history of politics could come close to pulling that off. We are witnessing a legend in his decrepit prime. ...

I was surprised to see the Cardinals selected Walter Nolen from Ole Miss but despite it being an unorthodox choice I think we should give him a chance to see what kind of Pope he can be. ...
Trump is tanking with younger men who expressed support for him 5 months ago because it's dawning on them that it's not very valuable to know you can say slurs without getting fired if you don't have a job. ...

Why? Because he wants what is best for the country and refuses to stick to party lines? Not saying I agree with his vision of what's best, but I respect his maverick stance.

His Napoleonic power trip over the Democratic senate majority has put him on my permanent shit list. His issue positions do not bother me beyond the fact that I often disagree with them.

I just watched the HBO movie Recount which chronicles his ability to throw a wrench in his own election bid for VP, by waffling on the issue with overseas military ballots that weren't postmarked or signed.
What a Schmuck!

A schmuck he may be, but I'd love to see a Jew in the White House.
