"...Because hes like a serpent covered in Vaseline. Because he treats the American people like two-bit suckers in 10-gallon hats. Because he sucks up to the guy who insulted his wife by retweet, no less. Because of his phony piety and even phonier principles. Because I see him as the spiritual love child of the 1980s televangelist Jimmy Swaggart and Jack Nicholsons character in The Shining. Because his ethics are purely situational. Because he makes Donald Trump look like a human being by comparison. Because New York values. Because his fellow politicians detest him, and thats just among Republicans. Because he never got over being the smartest kid in eighth grade. Because hes conniving enough to try to put one over you, but not perceptive enough to realize that you see right through him. Because hes the type of man who would sell his family into slavery if thats what it took to get elected. And that he would use said slavery as a sob story to get himself re-elected.
Otherwise, you might say Im his No. 1 fan."
