I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I have not succumbed to the “It’s time to take Trump seriously” bandwagon. I continue to think he’s a buffoon who deserves admiration only for his ability to hoodwink the rubes and play the media like a fiddle. His act will grow stale with time, and four years from now we’ll remember him only as a somewhat glossier version of Herman Cain.

That is all.
