Alright, I'm going to play devil's advocate here. Let Republicans gloat. What they're really feeling is relief, because this *was* killing them.

The parallel with Hungary is appropriate. But personally, I wouldn't go so far on the other points. I think we've passed Peak Trumpism. He looks like shit and the base is peeling away.

He simply cannot stop himself. He needs it so badly for validation. That booing must have stung badly. At least I hope so.

Seems a little ironic. I mean, even in the UK, how many people could accurately locate Leicester on a map? I know it's somewhere between London and Scotland.

Healthcare dominates all our lives because of our stupid system. In other places it's just there in the background, you know, when you need it. Far too simple for the geniuses that we are.
