He'll still look like the delusional self absorbed horse's ass that he is.

Trump's earned a lot of points with me.

He's stood up to the Republican elites a lot better than just about any Democrat has.

It takes balls to say some of the things he has when you are running as a Republican.

He's said he won't cut Social Security.

He's said that Bush lied about WMD's to get us into the Iraq War.

He's said that Bush dropped the ball by letting 9/11 happen on his watch.

He said that transgender people should be able to use any bathroom they feel comfortable with.

Any one of those things would be the kiss of death for another Republican to say.

On top of all that, he's dead right about our trade policies. They suck.

And he's also dead right about how big donors manipulate out politics.

Sorry, anything he sez is to make the sale and has no credibility.

If that's the case, then he's damned good at it.

What has he said about wealth inequality? Minimum wage? Race relations? The lethality of our police culture? Wars of choice?

Only three good things I can say about Trump's candidacy.
Relatively speaking, it has cost him very little to get to the front runner status.
He has managed to implode the Republican Party for now.
Help Hillary win an undeserved Presidency with a bit of good luck.

I love Liz, but she's wrong on this.

Anyone with the least bit of objectivity can readily see that Hillary's campaign is all about her wanting to be the first woman President.

Hillary Clinton’s rallies, by contrast, can seem like a sorority rush reception hosted by Lena Dunham, or an endless episode of “The View,” with a girl-power soundtrack by Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato. The ultimate insider is portraying herself as an outsider because she’s a woman, and the candidate who is considered steely is casting herself as cozy because she’s a doting granny.

Her website is chockablock with empowerment gear, from a hot pink “woman’s card” to a “Make Herstory” T-shirt to a “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun-damental Rights” tote bag to “A Woman’s Place Is in the White House” throw pillow. She says her favorite shows are “The Good Wife,” “Madam Secretary” and “Downton Abbey,” and she did a guest shot on “Broad City.”

Sen. Warren was addressing Trump's sexist comments. She's spot on. Trump is a pig.
