as light on policy as Trump. All he knows are platitudes and bumper stickers with no understanding of how policies are enacted or executed and no understanding of government itself. Combined with his bigotry/xenophobia/sexism and just how completely out of touch he is with ordinary Americans' lives, he's probably the worst candidate we've ever seen.

And that's not even mentioning his cartoonish past on reality TV and shady business practices. I'm embarrassed that he's doing so well.
