The A**hole Quotient

It's Thursday, Friends,

As the Queen City of Charlotte, NC faces another restive night, we are just four days away from what portends to be the most watched, and possibly most important, presidential debate in American history.

Damage caused by rioters to North Carolina's largest and very upscale city last night is reported to exceed that of last year's Baltimore riots. And, as in Baltimore, the riots were spurred by the death of an innocent African American at the hands of the police.

The mistreatment of African Americans by the police and how to fix the problem is sure to be a topic of the upcoming debate. It may even be question number one.

We'll certainly get a good feel for how each candidate will respond as president to this continuing and most sensitive of crises.

The debate will be revealing.

But I really wanted to talk about something that happened this morning, which perhaps will slip by because of everything else that's going on.

Donald Trump was endorsed by one of history's biggest jerks--former Indiana Hoosier basketball coach Bobby Knight.

Yes, he won a lot of big games, but he was just as well known for his temper tantrums.

He went berserk at his team's lackluster performance in a February 23, 1985 home game against Purdue, and threw a folding chair clear across the court and right at the handicapped seating section.

He is what I would call your everyday a**hole.

How did I not get included in this list? I endorse
Donald Trump, and I'm probably the biggest a**hole
of them all! (Ann Coulter caught in rare moment speaking
 truthfully)

I've noticed that when it comes to being backed by people who virtually anyone would put in this category, Donald Trump is pitching a shutout.

Take former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan David Duke, for example. Or perhaps campaign executive director and former Breitbart News CEO Steve Bannon. No one would ever call him a nice guy.

Then, there's Bridgegate bully Governor Chris Christie, frisk 'em all Rudy Giuliani, lock 'em all up Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and the campaign's newest addition--Citizen United's David Bossie.

Need I go on?

Oh yeah, I forgot the candidate himself.

I can't think of anyone one else in--or endorsing-- any of the other four campaigns (including Evan McMullin's), who has this kind of reputation.

Though Trump can't control support from the likes of  David Duke, he actively courts and surrounds himself with many other POS's, and this speaks volumes about his character.

There are few in his circle who aren't tainted. Two of those, Mike Pence and Kellyanne Conway, seem to constantly be in damage control mode.

Let's hope it won't, but if the election were actually to hinge on the A**hole Quotient, Trump would be the hands-down winner.
