http://hill.cm/zkIjLKQNone of this was hidden, Stern said on his Sirius XM broadcast Tuesday. "This is who Trump is. He was always bombastic. He always rated women. He always talked in a misogynistic, sexist kind of way."
...(Stern said he supports Hillary Clinton and one reason is) "I am a big defender of womens healthcare. I believe Planned Parenthood, if it was taken away from us, would be a disaster for poor, working-class women. And Hillary supports (Planned Parenthood)."

(56,828 posts)from a disillusioned Trump supporter. Said she believed in his message at first, and the candidate. According to her, he ran as a protest against the GOP leadership and only expected to get 10-12% of the vote. However, once he started surging and none of his controversial statements stopped him, it went to his head and he became (even more) full of himself. So, she quit in frustration after he didn't do anything to get an actual organized campaign going.

(2,252 posts)Trump is an idiot for even attempting to run. Stern ran for Governor in 94 but dropped out when it came time to divulge his finances.
