I watched about half of it. If it had been funny or even more clever, I would have watched more. Most of the clips that I heard were more or less familiar and I kind of knew where Noah would go with it. I watched what I watched out of respect for you, but this really isn't my cup of tea. Hillary was in politics for such a long time that she became a target of the same kind of truncating. A lot of it is found on rightwing sites which you don't visit, most likely. I didn't like it done to her either though. As for Trump, however, he talks off the top of his head so much and this leaves him wide open to ridicule, etc. His rallies weren't scripted, and there were times that I thought he was contradicting himself. It bothered me. Several times things Trump said and did drove me away completely and I gave other possible candidates a second or third look. But I came back Bentway calls me a Trump "mark", and maybe I am. I was willing to cut Trump a lot of slack because as I've said over and over and over, Trump was the only candidate who was addressing my two hot-button issues. And these were issues I had way before the primaries even got going. Right now, I'm actually less worried about Trump than I was when I voted for him. I think he's going to do the things that I personally think were needed to preserve the country and build a better future for my grandkids. I'm just worried that it's too late. Trump and his friends may be really rich and all, but the power in the country is in the hands of those who prefer the status quo. Those people would likely find the petty quibbles going on on threads like this or on twitter to be laughable. To those powerful interests, we are all marks.
