“On illegal immigration, he wants to gather up the families and ship them out? That was a boondoggle. The caucusgoers are like, ‘What?’ That was a big mistake,” Richard Thornton told The Des Moines Register.

He told the Register Trump needs to focus on the economy, bringing back jobs from overseas and term limits.

Hmmmm, let’s see.
Persisting in matches of wit, though clearly “unarmed.”
Celebratory victory dance each time he’s bested.
Surely, we’ve seen his act before.

Got it.
It’s Monty Python’s clueless Black Knight reincarnate, and I claim my $5.
