Stephen: “Trump-curious” once or twice, fine. Kinda cute and clever. Five or six?? (I lost count.) Overkill.
Why do people keep saying Johnson couldn’t name a foreign leader? That isn’t the question he was asked.
You know, one of Trump’s biggest failings is seldom noted; he doesn’t listen to anybody. Trump supporters say he’d surround himself with the best people, but if you refuse to listen to what the best people say to you—need we doubt that Kellyanne Conway failed to tell him it was a bad idea to tweet random, icky thoughts? does it not strike anyone as odd that the Trump team has to resort to the media to transmit advice to him?—what good is their mere presence on his team?
Hillary surrounds herself with, well, crooks and sycophants, but they are good at what they do. Expert, even. And she listens to them, and does what they tell her to do. That’s why she’s going to win.
Sigh.
