2. Mark Shields was great. But, what really surprised me was

the National Review guy who very much distanced himself from trump and said the repubs in congress better do it soon. There really didn't seem to be much disagreement at all between Shields and Ponnuru. I'm sure if Gergen was there he wouldn't disagree either.

Not a smug elitist, very smart, and I'd wager he comes from a blue-collar background.

6. It's Like Don the Con Lacks Even the Basic Skills Needed to Govern...

No political sense - heck, not even much common sense either. He has absolutely no grasp of the social and relational skills needed to govern and manage effectively, to create an atmosphere in which an administration can thrive. He was able to skate by as a trust fund baby in his dad's real estate business - until he bombed out repeatedly in the casino business in Atlantic City. Then, after US banks wouldn't loan to him, in stepped Putin and his oligarchs. You can almost feel sorry for the guy - until you consider his absolute mendacity and lack of principles. The guy is digging his own political grave...

Taking away health care, deregulation, increasing prison sentences for non violent crime, denying science. destroying the environment and food protection destroying education, encouraging violent dictators, intimidating judges, fighting free speech. Giving ungodly amounts of money to billionaires. I'm sure I'm forgetting many things.

that's common among Repubs, but Trump can't even fake governing like most other Repub pols can.
