He fights. Hard. And that's exactly what's needed as of last November.

Loud. Brash. Unyielding. Yeah, he's got a high opinion of himself. But at least he consistently rages on the utter INSANITY of what's going on.

Republicans have grabbed the entire store and they are mega-assholes, every one of them. I think we're allowed at least one asshole on our side.
