It's pitiful watching these people.
Its like watching a trout thrashing about in the bilge of a canoe.
The Cons hate this man, loath him and everything he stands for. They even despise everything they've convinced themselves he stands for. They call him a liar, fool, weakling, criminal, Communist, traitor, un-American; in fact, they suspect he's not American at all. And after 4 years in the White House, this is the best they can come up with.
And remember, Tom is smarter than most of these troglodytes.
