That's how he got the gig at The New Republic(an) that started his career as a public menace.

because then everything falls into partisan camps.

In other words, Rs get to block SCOTUS nominees, pledge not to work with Obama on anything for 8 years, but if Ds act even a little like that, they are the problem. Huh?

Talking about how popular Trump is. He can get out and go live in his part B house. Some of us have to be here.

He's gonna retire, he claims and take his money out of the stock market. Good, get lost white guy.
You're not helping the up and coming new generation of Americans. What has he ever done for this country? Besides writing some cranky articles, please.

he is capable of carrying on respectful and intelligent discourse.

Also, when someone who despises Hillary Clinton the way he does admitted he was voting for her in late 2016 because he thought Trump was just that dangerous, it carried more weight.
