QOTD: Howard Stern
by digby
“None of this was hidden,” Stern said. “This is who Trump is. He was always bombastic. He always rated women. He always talked in a misogynistic, sexist kind of way, but he did it sort of proudly and out in the open; and he still won the Republican primary. In one sense, the fact that we do an interview and people’s personalities come out, I’m very proud of that.”
What he’s saying is that these are things his followers like about him. And it’s true. Add in the racism, xenophobia and simplistic nationalism and you pretty much describe the package the GOP signed on for and enthusiastically cheered at that Nuremberg convention back in July. They knew what they were getting.
