I think Marco Rubio could never have recovered from revealing himself to be pathetic.

One of my favorite footnotes in the hypochondria book [The Hypochondriac’s Guide to Life. And Death.] was about the death of one of the King Charleses. He was essentially bled and vomited to death by his doctors. They also drilled holes in his head.

America is an incredibly polarized country politically. I think ANY Republican would start out with 42 percent of the vote.

But 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.

Donald Trump is way worse than George W. Bush. George W. Bush is a fundamentally decent man of limited intelligence who surrounded himself with awful people who dragged him in terrible directions. He was a bad president.

I think Hillary Clinton will make a fine president, and (most important) I am comfortable with her making gigantic, momentous decisions.
