"Trump’s values are hostile to conservatism. He plays on fear — exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism and misogyny — to bring out the worst in all of us, rather than the best."

HOSTILE to conservatism? Xenophobia, racism, and misogyny are the core values of the GOP.

The essence of conservatism is "fuck you, I've got mine." That's fine if that's a person's world view, but all the evidence shows that we do better as a nation when everybody does well, not just the wealthy.

BTW: I've mentioned Quinn Cummings, former child star and current writer, humorist and kitten foster mother here before, but if you're not following her on Twitter, you really should.

She has some of the greatest names for people in the public eye, such as:

Donald Trump (her most famous) = "Giant Toddler"Brit Hume = "Sonorous Beef Jerky"Kylie Jenner = "Dead-eyed Shill"Newt Gingrich = "Lizard Man"Roger Ailes = "Gropey Landmass"Ivanka Trump = "UES Barbie"Mike Huckabee = "Radon-soaked Elf"Ben Carson = "Human Ambien"Mike Pence = "Babysitter"Sean Hannity = "Wee Easter Island Figure"

One of her latest is for Tami Lahren = "Vice-President Of Sorority At Party School"

But I love what she calls Katrina Pearson = "Future Afternoon Bartender At Strip Club Near Onramp."

She has no choice but to shoplift. It's not like she's been paid by Trump.

The DMN is liberal? I just felt my brain explode. There is no question that the urban areas of Texas lean Democrat...which is why my congressional district takes in a sliver of urban Dallas and goes all the way to Tyler but the DMN has been reliably in the conservative pocket. I think that conservative Texas business people find Trump too open about how shady the business world is and how easily the oligarchy in this country rule political life...oh, and Trump is the douchiest candidate ever.

When I hear someone as stupid as her talk, I cringe and change the channel. I think somewhere deep down, I'm afraid stupid is contagious, since there are so many stupid people in the world.

She was on one of those "Housewifes of..." reality shows. She's a Drama queen with no knowledge of real world events
