The most troubling defense is this claptrap that he “tells it like it is.” Well, first of all, no he doesn’t. He tells it the way you want to hear it, which is an entirely different thing.

My misgivings about Trump stated to a 'T'! As much as I enjoy the Donald show, I don't trust him as far as I could throw him...but I DO admire the way he's stuck to his guns so far.

The Tea Party was never better, nor stronger, than when it was an economic populism movement of folks who felt they were taxed enough already.
