So Andrew Puzder, guest on CNBC (natch) just said the dumbest goddamned thing ever . . .

The Restauranteur and heavily Republican donor just said on CNBC, when pressed about how you separate Donald Trump's economic platform from his rather predatory views on women . . .

and I'm paraphrasing . . .

"I look at two candidates who aren't perfect. I view one of them as a corrupt, power-hungry Richard Nixon type candidate and one who is an enterprising, economically sound Bill Clinton/John Kennedy type candidate. Between those two, I'm going to pick the Clinton/Kennedy type."

You Read That Right. He actually just likened Donald GropenFingerer to Clinton and Kennedy.

Oh, What The Fuck. #liberalmediamyASS

Pretty bad when a Republican has to grab for the coattails of Democrats.

Difference is, both Clinton and Kennedy had prior governmental experience.

It's curious to me that Andrew Puzder, as a business conservative, throws his weight behind a guy that's not exactly a role model for sound money management.

That's quite a departure from their usual strategy of trying to implicate Hillary in everything that Bill has done.
