boasts. remember trump famously or infamously said, when you are a star in hollywood, grab their genitals. a stupid remark. completely translated by the left into that is what i do rather is that is what i would like to do but i'm too civilized to do it perhaps. i don't know trump personally but this was a private conversation from 11 years previously and when republican after another was horrified. i can't support this candidate. this is a bridge too far. jeb bush embarrassingly said i have two granddaughters, nothing

donald trump can say whatever apologize, remarking in private to billy bush where they realize they would be and that is republicans. hillary clinton, she sold off her position as secretary of state, national assets, made $100 million for herself and her husband, she lied to the fbi, she lied to the american people. she put our highest level secrets on a private server, violated her oath, violated the espionage act, opened our secrets to our enemies china and north korea, iran, the russians, horrific, she lied about

benghazi, she lied to the mother of a fallen hero of benghazi, not one, not one democrat elected official said this is a bridge too far. i can't support this candidate. not one. brought this up in discussing the communist party because that is where the communist party was effective in political warfare. everybody in lockstep. that is the way the left behaves today. political correctness is like a zipper with a lock over everybody's lips, you just don't say things, you don't say to a woman, you are a liar and a

crook. a former first lady, former secretaries of state, you do it to a male but women are protected species. this baloney about being strong. strong women. elizabeth warren assassinating a decent human being, 40 years in public life, dedicated public servant, champion of civil rights, calling him a racist, a letter that was repudiated by caretta scott king, violating senate rules and when mitch mcconnell says you can't say that, they are silencing another woman.

that cripples conservatives, cripples anybody opposing that nonsense. intellectual you look at it, it is ridiculous and laughable. of the political practice is something. trump is a liberated force. i have waited 30 years for somebody on the right to appeal like donald trump. coming out of the left and being used to understanding the left sees politics as war conducted by other means, that is the way they see it, that is the way they fight it, the kratz is what? character assassination, name-calling, hate, a party of

hate, you see it every season and there is no limit to what they will throw at republicans to defame them, to destroy them. godzilla versus bambi. i waited. then comes the first primary to date, there is donald trump with the highest percentage of the question, in a political debate, up against 12 of them, 12 of the most qualified, most experienced republican politicians, the first question out of the box in front of whatever it was, 30 million, 20 million, whatever it was, people, megyn kelly this is

the first question. you referred to women as fat slobs and pigs. he doesn't hesitate a second, that was just rosie o'donnell. [laughter] .. live from the los angeles times festival of books on the campus of the university of southern california.
