And as creatively accurate a description as anything this party has managed in decades.

Maybe give him a job as advisor in charge of slogans. And I'm serious.

and the delicate flowers couldn't take it..."when they go low, we go high"

I say, bullshit. He kicked 'em in the nuts and if we had followed suit we wouldn't be in this situation right now. Nice guys finish last.

I'm sorry to have to say this, but it's the truth.

His mistake was being s scumbag to his wife and having offshore tax shelters while acting like the savior of the downtrodden.

Democrats do not like either of those things.

His offshore accounts are straight up arbiters of truth. His repeated lies and petty vindictiveness? Truth to power baby!

The guy is true abusive scum.

but the reaction of OUR SIDE when the Rethugs got all apoplectic about his calling a spade a spade was a backing down and an apology to the RW for insulting their horrifying positions on health care, by repudiating him. His behavior at home was not the issue at that time.

So, glad he didn't win his primary. He needs to stay down.

We need a few pricks in there to make the other side hopping mad: why do you think Trump went ballistic at Bill Maher and made a total fool of himself? Maher went for the jugular. It works. They lose their shit. That's when they make mistakes...

Watch for him to run as a Republican in the future. First and foremost to Grayson is petty and immature vindictiveness.
