Even NYTimes Maueen Dowd is waking up to stupid Trump: Wild Child Takes Charge
I find it amusing that nytimes puts this silly photo of Trump up with this article.

and escape the hell they helped create.

20 plus year Clinton hater. I really have not read her in a few years but the title caught my eye. I have no love for Dowd.

respect she deserves from my fellow DUers. She deserves every bit of scorn anyone throws her way.
