Republican strategist Liz Mair on Trump: "His message is being a loud-mouthed dick, basically..."

Republican strategist Liz Mair on the subject of trying to rein Trump in, or stage some kind of "intervention":

"This is his message. His message is being a loud-mouthed dick, basically, and going out there and offending people, and then engaging in a bunch of airing of grievances. That's what he does. He doesn't have another message. He doesn't have anything else he really wants to convey. The Republican party has a message, but it's not his message, and he has no interest in carrying it."

1. When did times change from fining media in the early 2000s for saying shit

to calling someone a loud mouthed dick.

The fines were meant to scare left wing talk radio, Air America, because they could not afford fines.

2. FCC "decency standards" don't apply to non-broadcast media like cable TV (n/t)

3. I'm glad times have changed. It's not that I want that kind of talk all of the time...

...but sometimes there's no better way to say something. "Loud mouthed dick" captures Trump perfectly.
