Clocker,
I believe this is society as a whole and has been for the past 2 generations.

The downward trend curve was greatly accelerated first by the web and then by social media.
And now we have a president who does his best work on twitter. He is a president for the times. Despite his 70 year old body, he has the attention span of a 20 year old.

The disrespect you show is now at a despicable level. So sad.
And Dan you never were at a level.

Even at 200, they'd still out-cogitate the Donald

For the record we all agree with you, but this is nothing but the start. Hardball is something a very rare person will agree to, this far out there is at least 100 people being paid to unearth things that get directed to a sifting screen. The name gets floated everything is fed into a database that is unearthed.
I could care less about this person, it is just today's aim at a narrative here.
A glimmer of hope for those heads that are blowing up or soon to.

not in the least. She would get the dem base but any candidate would. It'll come down to independents like it always does. She would be lucky to get 1% of the independents. Her hollyweird connection would end it for her.

If any of those people ever had an original idea, it would die of loneliness.

Orca, er, Oprah sounds just like HIMMLER.
That hump is one sick nazi. Didn't we HANG the last ones who said that crap?
OH, wait, we would never find a strong enough rope.
Hey, hcap, what do you think HER physical would show?
At least she would not fall off a curb - she might CRUSH a few down to street
level......

Respect is earned by the person in question. Please feel free to provide solid and verifiable evidence that that my statements about Trump are in error, rather than directing a personal attack at the messenger who brings bad news.
By all accounts, undisputed by Trump or the administration, Trump spends many hours every day watching cable news. That is not an indication of a thinking, analytical person. It is an indication of a media junkie who is overly concerned about his own public image.
