Paraphrased somewhat, due to imperfect memory. This was Chris Hayes' explanation (on Late Night with Seth Myers) of why Trump's imitators can't pull off the same act he can.

2. Trump is full-throttle, has had more experience on the job.

5. I like Chris Hayes' show a lot. He tends to get overshadowed by Rachel and Lawrence

But he does his homework and explains the issues really well.

6. Chris Hayes actually called Trump a sociopath

in the interview, not a psychopath. There are interesting and notable differences between the two disorders.

I watched Nancy Pelosi's daughter's documentary about her last night for the first time. It was really interesting to see the Speaker struggle with interacting with Trump because she knew there was something really wrong with him. I loved seeing her explain why she tore up the printed copy of Trump's State of the Union speech and how she wanted to punch him out if he set foot in the Capitol Building on Jan 6th.

Somebody should have punched him out a long time ago. Republicans are such wimps to have put up with him for so long. No wonder they love their guns so much; there's not one set of balls among the lot of them.
