1. Really? To me he sounds like a child in a schoolyard.

A master of insults would be more subtle, would make you think.

I am enjoying it, though.

6. I kind of feel bad about saying that, because I have known a lot of kids...

said on TRMS tonight it is like a comedy routine. He was really funny describing Lindsey graham and Rick Perry. All of them threw the first insult.

insulting each other on the playground. 'I know you are but what am I?' 'Idiot!' 'Jackass!' It's even less than mature. More like manure. Come on Donald. Debate. Can't wait for the meltdown and men in white coats from the booby hatch measuring him for a straight jacket.

...at the same time he's sucking all the oxygen out of the campaign, he's saying nothing about campaign issues.

9. That's because he doesn't really PLAN to be there in the end. My Pops put it perfectly yesterday...

He said Trump is simply "brand-building" and that he's comparable to the marathon runner who sprints the first 400 yards until he's in first place and somewhere along the line drops out. He never fails though, when he's feelin' his oats, to boast "I led the marathon!"

10. Classic school yard bully.

All bluster but ridiculously thin-skinned. He is the picture one who "can dish it out but can't take it." He is compelled to respond to every comment made about him.

What a disaster it would be for this crass, clueless, classless, egotistical buffoon to represent our country on the international stage.

11. It's pretty difficult to feel sorry for the likes of Perry and Graham

Perry is just a dumb shit and Graham is like a pesky little gnat that keeps buzzing around your ear until you finally smooth him with a newspaper.

13. His skit today confirmed that he's doing stand up comedy

He pulled out a note card that he wrote Lindsay Graham's phone number down on (in humongous letters with a permanent marker) 4 years ago? I know he's a billionaire with dozens of assistants to help him stay organized, but I think I can safely say that the note card was a freshly generated prop to go along with his latest comedy act.

is an arrogant, boorish loudmouth who has grown up abusing the the household help and anyone else who has worked for him.

His idea of negotiating is give me what I want or fuck off.
