So dismissing Donald Trump supporters as "angry morons" was after reading Mr Trump's policies of - 15% corporate and 5% income taxes, school choice, calling global warming a hoax, support for fracking, supporting the 2nd amendment, abolishing Obamacare - and (presumably) finding yourself opposed to all of these policies??
Interesting.
In Donald Trump there's not a consistent point of view to understand, just a hodge podge of randomness. Like a mini version of Putin, he attempts to replace principles with force of personality. Like most populists, he sometimes comes down on the right side, but often not - and there's no predicting where he'll stand on any given issue.
