18. You know, the sources I've heard this from are far, far from being on his side.

Mostly they're, in my inferencing, trying to say either he has a history of unnecessary confrontation because he's an a-hole that puts himself at risk; or he's mentally ill, and you know, if you're not quite right you really shouldn't be allowed in public if you're (R) and (ICE).

I suspect my measurement of the media unit's spin number depends rather on the context I found it in. But sympathetic? Puh-lease.

None are sympathetic; it's just "here's a thing ... find the appropriate reason to blame him, he's bad for a reason and any of these numerous options will prove guilt."
