Crossing the Rubicon

Scary Trump interview last night. He is obsessed with being #1 in everything, even when he clearly isn't. He said things that were absolutely pathetic ("At the CIA, I got the biggest standing ovation since Peyton Manning at the Super Bowl." Um, no.). He was clinging to Fox News saying nice things about him, and said that's how everyone should talk about him. Then I watched this exchange below and thought "We are doomed. This man is incapable of rational thought."

Trump cites Pew report as proof, then when told it actually disproves him, shifts to saying author is "groveling."pic.twitter.com/vLfrdGGOQG

Watergate super-reporter Carl Bernstein reports that even some Republicans are starting to panic...

Last night @CarlBernstein said DC Republicans are raising concerns about Trump's "emotional maturity, stability" https://t.co/dUe5eFRQSu

And yet, this was the response from someone I actually know. Someone who isn't a moron, but someone who is lapping up Trump's koolaid. This is not ironic. He means it...
