But it’s mean to call Trumpists weird.
Progressives are unfair to Ben Sasse.
Coastal elite journalists are biased against Trump.

A Clinton story:

Friend of mine in northcentral Arkansas is in law enforcement. One day his agency got a call saying they had a high-profile visitor coming in at approximately midnight and certain protocols would be put into effect. The SS arrived and filled in on the impending visit, what was needed, protective personnel and locations, the works. All that was done and ready, and they waited.

Sometime after the expected ETA a couple of vehicles rolled into town. Not the usual parade but downsized. Clinton was there to visit a longtime friend who had a death in the family. Couldn't do it in the daytime and Clinton was a notorious night owl, calling and talking (and probably screwing) whoever he could. When the motorcade rolled in it stopped at the law enforcement HQ and Clinton got out to thank everyone inside.

My friend was one of a small group who met him, quick handshake, thanks for being here, hope your visit goes smoothly, etc. The motorcade left and he met with his bereaved friend, and then they were gone. Poof.

That sounds insanely crazy, I know. POTUS sneaking in and out at night? But wait, there's more.

Fast forward several years later after Clinton is out of the WH and my friend is at another event. He's in the handshake line and Clinton comes down the line shaking hands, doing the whole smiling Good ol' Country Go0ber routine. He has no one with him close enough to whisper "next is Bob Johnson, owner of the AutoZone in town." Just Clinton.

My friend begins to introduce himself with "I'm sure you don't remember me but a few years ago you ..." and Clinton cuts him off.

"Hey, (name), how're you doing? I really appreciate what y'all did when I flew into (town) that time to visit my friend. How are things going up there?"

My friend was slackjawed. Some politicians just have it, and he had it.

Another:

I knew a guy who was retired from the Arkansas capitol security, a tough MFer. We were talking once about all the rumors. He said HRC was a cunning, smart and political but also evil, nasty "throw anything she could get her hands on b*tch" who was just a really bad person. He said BC was incredibly smart, charismatic, savvy, transactional and screwed whoever he could hook up with.

We were chatting and laughing, and then I mentioned Whitewater. His face went blank.

"No one talks about Whitewater, ever."

I've never seen someone flip like that. He legimately was, maybe not scared, but damned close to it.

I have a friend who tells a similar story. She was on a BC-tangent staff once upon a time, and years and years later, was at a function, and BC asked about a family member of hers she was taking care of back in the day when she was on staff. She said they all had stories like that, that his recall was uncanny.

He did that to me. Met him as Governor, years later he is POTUS and he comes into a Little Rock restaurant. He’s shaking hands, gets to me and says “How are things in Fort Smith?”

My date thought I was a VIP after that.

I am so great/wonderful….
You are not….

Bob Knight has no connection to Pennsylvania (as far as I know). Indiana, Ohio, Texas and upstate New York? Sure. Looks like senile trump doesn't know where he is again.
