Silver lining of the long wait...

This has got to be pure, unmitigated torture for Trump. He has the attention span of a goldfish, the impulse control of a toddler, and only a dim understanding of how complex events like "elections" work.

Hell of his own making. I hope Rubio calls him a choke artist when Pennsylvania pulls through.

and he sees his grasp on power eroding with each little batch of votes, and the legal protections of the office slipping away.

on. But I could watch him on closed circuit, miserable, panic attacks, perhaps nearly for hours. I didn’t know I had the capability for as much hate as I feel towards him and McConnell. And Barr.

out that was merely strong dislike by comparison. I could still feel sorry for him sometimes as a person. Trump, McConnell, Barr--it's full-on hate.

not a heartless sociopath. He would sometimes do good things like his aids effort in Africa. Disliking him was within human range - Trump hate is other-worldly.

Agree with you.

It was Mitt Romney Trump taunted as a "choke artist," said he "choked like a dog" and implied Romney would have given Trump a blow job in exchange for an endorsement.

I used to call Trump "human garbage" until I realized that garbage, by definition, was useful at some point.
