A couple thoughts on the orange man (Season 1, Ep. 1)

Anyone who paid close attention (as I just so happened to do) to the 2016 Republican Primary debates knows that whatever you say about her private sector record (about which I heard mixed assessments), Carly Fiorina almost surely gave the most impressive debate performances.  What's more, it just so happens that one of Fiorina's Stanford degrees is in Philosophy, and she has demonstrated a familiarity with Hegelian dialectic.  So I would naturally kinda relate to her as a presidential candidate.  She'd have been my first choice, followed by one or other of Bush, Christie, Cruz, Kasich, Rubio.  She also happened to be only of the 17 GOP candidates who was a woman.

So what happened when the orange man, Donald J. Trump, was asked about Fiorina?  A google search says . . . Trump the rude and crude (and wisdom-deficient lookist) homed right in on "that face".  Fucking asshole, huh?

Still, what if the alternative is Crooked Hillary Clinton & Co.?  Gotta give the orange man credit for so memorably helping to discredit her alleged progressive moral superiority.

The other thing for now, is:

So, can we get some details, at long last, on Mexico paying for that wall? ^_^
