Yes, ladies and gentlemen, when the topic is Trump, you must reach for superlatives. We didn’t plan it this way, but a very substantial part of the discussion on this week’s Need to Know centers on the golden-haired casino tycoon/former (?) Democrat/single-payer healthcare system supporting/insult dispensing/big government favoring/immigrant-bashing destroyer of worlds. There’s a type of political pundit who always finds wisdom in the people’s voice. Certainly you risk being called “elitist” in a democracy like ours if you fail to praise the people’s infallible judgment.

Jay hasn’t finished excoriating the people for reelecting Obama (never mind rejecting Dole and McCain). I am beside myself with frustration that the Republicans — in a year when the Democrats are imploding — should be self-sabotaging. Judge for yourself. Do join us!
