..............................

"Then we have Donald Trump promising things that are totally not true. Lying every time he opens his mouth," she said. "So I think it's really a marriage made in heaven.".......................

McCaskill would reduce Trump to a crying toddler in a match up. She's smart & she, like Hillary, has dealt with their fair share of Trump clones.

How does Dr Oz hold any respect among his Columbia Medical collegues anymore?

Dr. Oz allowed a guy go appear on his show and promote the results of a physical done by a quack. Dr. Oz should have forced Donald Trump to get a physical from another doctor or he should have prevented him from appearing on the show.

He is a modern snake oil salesman, and Der Führer Drumpf is a fucking used car salesman.
