So he was being partisan, and casting aspersions. Of course he was.

It is embarrassing that he is a US Senator....but then again that is true of most (or all?) of the Repugs.

Not that I necessarily put it past him, but there's not enough evidence to even charge Trump for it, let alone assume it's a nationally accepted "fact".

Someone on MSNBC played AV of him many years ago when he was trying to appear educated, intelligent, and thoughtful. But I guess his campaign manager talked him into putting on the "cornpone" voice.
