Lee "May-he-burn-in-hell/I-don't-give-a-flying-fuck-if-he-apologized-on-his-death-bed" Atwater gave us the grotesque spectacle of the Willie Horton ad and, I presume, the ridicule of Michael Dukakis for suiting up and riding in tank. (How is this any more ridiculous than George W. Bush donning a G.I. Joe flight suit and posing before a "Mission Accomplished" banner on an aircraft carrier -- when the only mission that had been accomplished was lying our way into a war that killed tens of thousands?)

Trump's clueless narcissism and heartless cruelty combine to create a toxic cocktail of depravity, on full display in this moronic joyless ride.
