70. The issue is not just that he's a Republican

......reprehensible as that is. It's that to speak at this particular convention means he supports the most right wing, dishonest, racist and sexist platform in the history of the country. He's seen the world, should know something---and to throw his fame behind this republican party, now, with their four years of racism and baggery and obstructionism on jobs, is truly bottom of the barrel values.

In my eyes he's scum.
