Smart people despise him
He's beneath contempt
The stupid love him, because they don't understand just what a failure he is
They can relate, because they understand nothing but bluster and aggression
They will forgive him anything, as long as he tells them that their hatred isn't just right, it's righteous
Don't forget the bigotry, excused by their catholicism
I disagree that it's a tragedy
A tragedy is something that leaves the world worse off for happening
This ain't that situation.
He also failed at the first hurdle
He'd make a statement, and then demand that people prove him wrong
The burden of proof is on the person making the claim
He was disingenuous from the start (which is no surprise, because he was a cunt)
So, a lie
I mean, I'm not surprised
It's all conservatives do when they're not busy hating
