1. O'Donnell led with that quote from the article last night

...definitely an amazing observation.

What I'd say is that his infantilism isn't an excuse for treating our democracy so cavalierly. Ignorance isn't a credible excuse. Trump has a profound disregard for the law and the truth.

3. Trump, nor his family

has never seen a person put their mission above themselves. It's an ethical thing. Not enough people in the world have these values. I can say I worked two jobs, while the pay was OK it was the job and the job description that made me walk the true and narrow.

Trump and family, they have the greed gene turned on in their DNA, they are not capable of this caliber of performance. I might not be rich, but I have my creditably. It matters in our family. They trade that, if they ever had it to begin with a long time ago.
