We are getting a good dose. I feel this is quite a window. Trump sounds more sane than one would expect, but the reporter should have held his feet to the fire more. He makes a lot of bullshit statements that she lets pass.

ads for his biggoted message. He is what the Republcan party is all about. The Paty leaders are no doubt ang that he gets so much airtime saying things that the leadership does not want the world to hear.

as I have declared my house a Trump-free zone.

Seriously, just what is the appeal of this bloviating, blithering windbag? Does he have pictures involving goats? Is he a major shareholder in MSNBC? Is this just an East Coast thing that I don't get? Is it true that if he's ignored for five minutes he will melt?

He's been running Trump footage and Trump discussions all through his shows. Trump will never be president.

12. I'm glad Chris ran the interview. I think it may be a wake-up call to apathetic Dems.

Personally, I would never deliberately seek out a Trump interview but it was pretty fascinating. I despise Trump and have wondered how anybody could like him. Now I know. Some people are drawn to the authoritarian blowhards and he's a master.

as I'm watching it now I have to admire Trump as the most accomplished bullshitter on the planet today.

He never actually answers a question, but talks so fast you can't get a follow-up in. Everything is a rephrasing of "Whatever we're talking about, I'm right and I'm the greatest ever at it."
