88. I don't consider Trump insane at all.

He has proven himself as a master manipulator,
he is very shrewd and knew exactly what to do
to make that party intolerable, and I believe that
this was his plan.

He is far more liberal than his performances are
designed to show. Why else did B. Clinton encourage him
to run?

The problem he has now is to keep his position without
driving some sane repugs nuts. He knows that he can
"appear" to take his insults back, but won't be believed.

No, he is quite sane, imo, but his 10M voters are not.
