my comment: … how witless must be a political elite to be overwhelmed by a Trump – how insipid must be their arguments to be outdated by a blustering outsider – how dumb must appear the Washington establishment to its people no more to be heard … and as Hillary is part of this nasty crowd we may imagine easily Trump as next President.
