He's a Trump Mini Me. Anyone who claims that they have experience dealing with terrorists because they dealt with teachers is an imbecile.
All those candidates are dolts, except Kasich, Fiorini, Rubio and Bush, Bush is boring; Rubio panders; Fiornini didn't do a good job at HP, but keeps pretending she did.
Trump is a narcissist. He is the most unqualified by temperament.
