No wonder Trump and his crew have been crapping themselves silly.

Remember when Donny made fun of that disabled reporter?

More of Trump being himself. http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...-retarded.html

The Post's Summation: all the Trump outrages, going back to his initial candidacy announcement, with their columnist's reactions, one by one. It makes quite a pile.

You'll see at least one you're amazed you forgot.

From the Post's 'summation:' this column from political philosophy professor Danielle Allen is important. It explains why the "pussy grabbing" talk is utterly revealing: from antiquity, sexual predation has been the mark of the tyrant. You can read about it in Plato. You can read about it in the oldest epic story we have, the Epic of Gilgamesh.

We've forgotten what a full-blown tyrant is like. But we'd regain familiarity, if Trump were to gain power.

No we wouldn't. When was the US last ruled by a tyrant?

Last time it had a King. And that was not really a full-blown case. But the founders had read Plato (though not Gilgamesh).

Loved this paragraph from the President's speech.

“And if your only organizing principle has been to block progress and block what we've tried to do to help the American people every step of the way, so you're not even consistent anymore — you claim the mantle of the party of family values, and this is the guy you nominate? And stand by, and endorse, and campaign with until, finally, at the 11th hour you withdraw your nomination? You don't get credit for that,” he said. “You're the party that is tough on foreign policy and opposes Russia — and then you nominate this guy, whose role model is Vladimir Putin, the former head of the KGB? I’m sorry, what happened?”
