"Driving skills are apparently irrelevant in a dark-horse populist."

Oh please. You just described that how the car's brakes had failed. You're going to slag the driving skills of someone who'd once been an NYC cabbie?

He drives an antique car through NYC traffic with no brakes, presumably on the hand brake only, then manages to park the car on the sidewalk while surrounded by crowds of people and cameras pointing in his face without hitting anyone. He wants it parked in a proper position, so he takes three tries. Did I mention the car had no brakes, handbrake only? You think that's so easy?

If you're going to snark and slag someone for something irrelevant, at least know what you're talking about. Whatever else you want to say about him, the guy CAN drive. Sheesh.

Alter's comment was annoying. If someone points to a problem, and the problem is ignored by everyone else, and yet that someone continues to point at it, then they run the risk of sounding like a broken record? Only if "media guys" like him say so, and they do. Changing one's mind is always flip-flopping. Remaining consistent is always a broken record.

With this admin, one could talk about a different criminal act or scandal or betrayal of American principles every day without sounding "like a broken record" because there's just that many different things worthy of outrage.

It sounds like the Clinton Rules at play, even from Alter, fercryinoutloud.

IOKYAR.
