How Joseph McCarthy henchman Roy Cohn became Donald Trumps mentor.

That Roy Cohn.

Roy Cohn, the lurking legal hit man for red-baiting Sen. Joe McCarthy, whose reign of televised intimidation in the 1950s has become synonymous with demagoguery, fear-mongering and character assassination. In the formative years of Donald Trump’s career, when he went from a rich kid working for his real estate-developing father to a top-line dealmaker in his own right, Cohn was one of the most powerful influences and helpful contacts in Trump’s life.

Over a 13-year-period, ending shortly before Cohn’s death in 1986, Cohn brought his say-anything, win-at-all-costs style to all of Trump’s most notable legal and business deals. Interviews with people who knew both men at the time say the relationship ran deeper than that—that Cohn’s philosophy shaped the real estate mogul’s worldview and the belligerent public persona visible in Trump’s presidential campaign.

2. This is why

one would try to move on from the past we have to be sure that's moved on from us because most of the time it hasn't. There will be people who try to lionize Joseph McCarthy, as Ann Coulter already started doing, and Trump will happily make his mentor Rory Cohen seem brighter.

3. Except for the fact Cohn died deeply in denial that he had AIDS.

That is a pretty dark shadow on his reputation as far as the conservatives go.

4. with all due respect

this election prove that backs do not matter. I'm sure that they are preparing and exquisitely cooked banquet of alternative facts, especially if they think that they can get the days McCarthy back.
