Has anyone ever matched Trump for using so many words to say absolutely nothing of value?

I mean, other than Sarah Palin.

His speeches are little more than an unending stream of redundant, meaningless superlatives and baseless accusations.

No substance, no policy, no nothing.

Palin tends to ramble. Trump tends to spew AND ramble. So I guess you are right!

She did quite well. It was when she had to speak without one that she couldn't find the dressing for the salad she spewed.

Trump wins the word salad, crazy talk competition. And that is saying a lot when comparing to good ole Sarah.

You betcha!!

No structure, no sense, no hope. Just doom, gloom and hatred.

His gibberish is only going to get more toxic, from this point on.

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing."
