and he attended two high quality boarding schools. Environment's huge, but so is genetic inheritance.

Personally, after seeing his behavior all this time, I think mainly he's just one of humanity's duds.

I think you are right, he is a "dud" and that probably goes for his brother as well.

Almost 40 and he didn't think of this before tweeting? Does he think everyone is like him, one of the malleable Reich-wing re-programmable meatheads that make up "the base"?
