Don Lemon on CNN: Trump "is the birther-in-chief, the shithole-countries-in-chief...

… I don't really give a damn about what he says about racism."

Don has been approaching that Edward R. Murrow territory, for quite a while now.

He followed that up re: Trump's claim that "we're dominating the streets with compassion" with this: "That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

I remember when he was on a Chicago news station early in his career. He was very good even back then.

Additionally, I like how he and Chris Cuomo (another favorite) are such good friends and spend a lot of time together.

Cuomo is meh for me. The bits with his brother are endearing. But too often I find him moralizing and preachy
