OMG. I waded in on the weekend -- it was like being dropped into a Viking berserker raid with a roller derby mob fight combined with a fumble recovery in the Ducks Huskies game yesterday. Brutal. I needed ice and poultices as I stumbled out. Ugly people, the Trumpers. Really ugly.

It's disturbing how stupid some people are. They are easily taken down, really.

...and that was disgusting. Monitored it every day (after getting banned for telling them the truth) and reported what I found to half a dozen of our solid and visible pundits and writers. It was soul killing. The hatred, the ignorance, the willingness to do dirty tricks. The CNN FB comments now are, of course, fed by Trump's rhetoric. No boundaries.

You can't argue on the internet against 500 other posters.
But I pity the lone one who tries his pitch on me one-on-one in a coffee shop. He's easy game.
