What kind of moron, who is a billionaire and running for President, grossly undertips?

A good tip might be worth a half dozen votes.

The kind who thinks he's entitled to the Presidency because he's "so sophisticated" and "so progressive" and "so international", that's who.

In 1956, a young Bostonian was in L.A. and unable to get work in his chosen profession. He took a job driving a cab.

One night he picked up a U.S. Senator. Being from Boston, the driver recognized him -- John F. Kennedy.

The Senator, little known outside Massachusetts, was very flattered to be recognized and enjoyed a pleasant chat with the driver. For the rest of the ride they reminisced about their home town.

When the ride was over, Kennedy gave the driver a huge tip, $3 -- equal to perhaps $50 today.

The driver's name was Leonard Nimoy.

Nimoy said later, "Do I have to tell you who I voted for in 1960?".

Michael Dukakis stiffed the waitress in New Haven, Connecticut for breakfast. She asked the other patrons after he left how this could be, given how generous he seemed to be during the Presidential campaign. In the silence following her announcement, I got to say, "His generosity is solely with other people's money." The patrons were mainly Dims, but they appeared to agree.
