I don’t consider Hillary Clinton to be the lesser of two evils.
GENE WEINGARTENI don’t consider Hillary Clinton to be the lesser of two evils.
GENE WEINGARTENI think Trump wants to be dictator. I don’t think the courts will allow him to be, and I think that after months of revolting sycophancy, neither will Congress. He will sink to such a popularity trough that even those spineless, craven gophers will cave.
GENE WEINGARTENTrump cannot change because in his mind, he has ALWAYS been rewarded for his boorish, stupid, arrogant behavior.
GENE WEINGARTENDonald Trump’s humor is hostile to a fault.
GENE WEINGARTENIt is not a coincidence that Donald Trump has attracted white supremacists.
GENE WEINGARTENI think politics is everything.
GENE WEINGARTENThe odd thing is that Trump’s hand movements don’t seem to coordinate with the topic at hand. Most pols manage to make their hand movements correspond with the message, so a slash will accompany emphasis, etc.
GENE WEINGARTENI think there are a good many Donald Trump voters who are sick of government as it is practiced in America and genuinely want to blow up the system and see what happens. They are stupid – or at least unwise – but not necessarily racist.
GENE WEINGARTENI don’t see a point in advertising my marital status when men don’t. Completely ridiculous.
GENE WEINGARTENI was possessing heroin in fairly large quantities in New York City during the years of the draconian Rockefeller Drug Laws. Had I been busted, I would have faced mandatory life in prison. I don’t think many white kids walked, either. I knew one who got 15 years for pot.
GENE WEINGARTENI believe the publisher is a member of the editorial board, and I think his vote would matter.
GENE WEINGARTENBut this does me no good because, being intelligent and sophisticated human beings, they are all contemptuous of Trump. They hate him. They find him…vulgar.
GENE WEINGARTENYou know, I am not a particular Kennedy apologist or an awed fan – I was 12 when he was murdered – but I have discussed Kennedy with historians. For his incredibly short tenure, he was a very important president.
GENE WEINGARTENI think Marco Rubio could never have recovered from revealing himself to be pathetic.
GENE WEINGARTENWhen Trump says fake news, he means journalism that makes points with which he disagrees, usually about him.
GENE WEINGARTENInternational politics is not my strong suit. The older I get the less certain I am that I even HAVE a strong suit.
