10. It should have been--and was (repeatedly)--said during the election.

How many times did you see a Clinton ad or one of her advocates (Obama, Biden, a myriad of others) say "Donald Trump is temperamentally unfit to be president"? About a thousand or more? They weren't talking about policy positions being crazy: they were saying the man is temperamentally unbalanced. And that he was dangerous because of this.

Look, Trump's behavior today is no different than it was during the campaign--or, indeed, what it has been for decades. He would say crazy stuff like my building is 68 stories high when it was objectively verifiable that it is only 58 stories high. He acted unhinged during the debates ("nasty woman&quot . His knowledge was non-existent but his wacky bluster off the charts high.

Was it the hope that the presidency would change him (which it hasn't) that has brought his craziness up all of a sudden? By now, everyone should understand that it will never change; and it's not something new. Only now he has his finger on the nuclear code.

Thanks, all of you who stayed home or voted for someone else.
