At first I thought, what the hell? Then he built and built and built. It was like an approaching storm. distant at first but got closer and closer until it washes over you. Rev. Barber brought the thunder!

Donald isn't technically stupid, it's just that his personality disorder won't allow him to care enough about anything but himself for normal learning.

Even if he's wired to be amoral, if sufficiently motivated, he could still clinically develop some understanding of the basic concepts and their function in society. Very basic of course, and you might as well try to get my cat to care (sorry, Annabelle) as him, but still.

You know what? Forget it. Might as well try to teach it to Annabelle. Waste of the good doctor's time.

He was a publicity hound from his 30's, so as a New Yorker I can tell you that he's not loved here. In the Primary he won all of Manhattan's precincts except the one he lives in. (Also where Trump Tower is which is probably filled with celebrities, Republicans and foreign nationals) I attribute his win to Ted Cruz more than I credit Donald for it. He doesn't have a whisker of a chance of taking NY in the General Election. And you are absolutely right, he is unteachable. (And I wouldn't trust him with my cat.)

And that's not funning, of course.

Poor Manhattan cons, "forced" to choose between arming two bellicose wingnuts with nukes. How many of them would trust their cats to Trump?

It sounds like sensible NYers must have watched the Trump phenomenon with a special amazement as their constant little irritation exploded into a national suppurating rash.

He blew my mind years ago with a barnburner of an anti-Amendment One speech. Now the rest of the country can know of his greatness!

Why hasn't the entire country heard of this great preacher before now, or was it just me?

My brother in Christ that was the best message I have heard in years!

Lookin forward to more!
