The gift of Trump

Donald Trump is the best thing to happen to the Democrat party since Sarah Palin.

His hateful and misinformed rant about Mexican immigrants has exposed the rancid underbelly of the Confederate flag-waving core of the Republican party, and Ted Cruz is salivating over the prospect of inheriting Trump’s avid supporters after The Trump campaign implodes.

It's all too sad. The Donald will do for the USA, the same thing that Ross Perot did in 1992 — put a Clinton in the White House.
