I'm not voting for Marianne for president, but she is saying something very important.

Trump is a world-class textbook demagogue. Absolutely unoriginal. His every move is tried and true by tyrants of the past.

She is the only one addressing his demagoguery for what it is. Other candidates certainly condemn Trump, but she is pointing out his methodology.

And until the professional politicians on the debate stage pick up her point, I want to continue to hear her.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
