Leftist Dumbass Fail

The marketing of this site - in general - and the syntax of this article - in particular - belie the hocus pocus pseudo-intellectualism.
First of all, please at least use spell-checker (since you seem unable to spell as you type on your own - uhh, despite your implied superior education and erudition). It's really annoying as a believer in a higher power to be belittled by someone who cannot spell. Thanks.
Secondly, your fascination with a public character - about whom almost nobody but the left thinks - is like laying prostrate on a public couch and shouting your thoughts of insecurity. Donald Trump simply is not a credible straw-man. Your judgment is called into question by pretending otherwise - especially for a "writer" [snicker] belonging to such an illustriously- and pompously-named publication.
Thirdly (and most importantly), I enjoyed your analysis of the art of "bullshitting." I think you're quite on to something. Shame about the packaging.
