New poll! Hillary infuriates, but Trump nauseates - By Mark Morford
Do you remember? That time when well over 50 percent of American population was just deeply, excruciatingly embarrassed, to a palpable and abiding degree, but the eight-year national nightmare that was George W. Bush?
It’s worth recalling. It was everywhere, that feeling, that bleak undercurrent of shame over the vicious decay of the country. There was even a viral phenomenon, the first of its kind, when Bush “won” a second term in 2004 and countless thousands of Americans posted their misery in the form of a mournful selfie (before selfies existed, per se) uploaded to the instantly famous ‘SorryEverybody.com‘ website, each person holding a heartfelt – and heartbreaking – hand-written sign, apologizing to the world for what America hath wrought.
“Sorry about Bush,” read thousands of notes, held up for the camera, distressingly. “Most of us didn’t elect him.”
“It’s OK,” came the surprisingly kind responses from all over the world. “Just don’t let it happen again.”

Good read!
On behalf of all seven-year old boys (of whom a very fine grandson is one), I resent Trump being compared to them in the slightest. He is a very nasty bully of any age. His IQ - especially his political and social IQ - is not even as high as that of most seven-year-olds, IMHO.
