When you take it in isolation, it always sounds pretty awful

It is awful. This is not a textual analysis of Shakespeare. This is a politician. He's responsible for what comes out of his mouth. It's not art. It's not interpretive. It's not a consideration of his life's ouvre--it's what he says. If you think he's a nice guy who is misunderstood...well, then, that's what you believe.

He is an oaf and a bully. If he came to dinner at my house and talked like that about anyone, I would ask him to leave. Handing such a person the almost unlimited power of the presidency, based on the guess that he really doesn't mean it...really???
