Does that make Eric the "lucky" one?

Maybe I'm misremembering it--I seem to recall it was "his kids" (as a positive attribute to name, after a punchy debate...of course what Trump said for her was "she keeps fighting" which at least wasn't "I'm impressed at what a bitch she is"). Though it's hard to imagine him even loving his family--he only likes when they're useful, like how he likes Ivanka because it gives him something to think about when he's trying to get aroused.

"If there needed to be clarification because Michael Cohen, who let's not forget is serving time right now for lying to these very investigative bodies, I'm happy to do that," he told reporters following the interview.

A normal person would take Cohen as an example of what happens when you lie to Congress, and not want to go to jail. Junior takes it as a challenge.

What. A. Idiot.

If I had to really come up with something (and not just hit him with a zinger, which would be my first instinct) I'd say "he's one hell of a salesman" which is sort of true. For decades he's managed to fool a lot of people, in the media and otherwise, into buying into this completely made up image of himself.

I think it's one of the questions candidates prepare for--in '96, when Bill Clinton and Dole had to say something nice about each other, Clinton said "both of us married up" which was a good one. My original point of course was that for a while it was sort of accepted conventional wisdom that Trump's kids turned out all right because they (especially Ivanka) were poised and didn't seem like hard partiers or drug addicts. Media didn't look too deep at them at the time, because why would they?

To be fair, DJT's good points, point, or even a vaguely inoffensive quality, is not a topic I have ever given any real thought.

Well, there was that congressman (Duncan Hunter) that decided vaping during a committee meeting was a good idea. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

Do Alabamans regard the panhandle Floridians as an embarrassment or poseurs.

Oh well, maybe one day Matt Gaetz's super-human-ly large face, which is approximately nine times the size of a normal human face, will understand things.

Signs point to no.

That's... likely accurate.
