so he really doesn't care about maybe 48 to 48.5 million at most. To his mindset, the top 1% of the poor are the one's most in need.

I just saw the clip.

I have posted many threads about how terrible a campaigner he is and how I think in the end the Republican Party will find a way to put somebody else in.

This is because I have a very low opinion of his ability to conduct himself in public.

However he has just gone 300 feet into the earth to go below my very very low expectations.

This guy is in some ways a complete idiot.

He will never become President.
