70 days to go until the American people make the decision of the century. America or Trump.

0:07.2

This is the warning. Speaking of Trump, with 70 days to go, he is running scared. In fact, you can see the yellow stripe, the stain running down his back from outer space on a cloudy day. You see, Donald Trump,

0:24.2

after all, doesn't want to debate, at least not anymore. He wants the microphones to be muted,

0:30.5

or maybe it's unmuted. No matter what, he'll find something to complain and to whine about.

Donald Trump first entered my consciousness

0:39.0

when I was a boy in the 1980s, and he always reminded me of someone, a bully, a great

0:45.9

character from one of the great 1980s movies, Scud Farkas from the Christmas story. This has always been how I have perceived Trump.

0:57.2

This exact face. Look at the two of them together, but a perfect match. Now, bullies have something

1:04.8

in common. They are most always physical cowards and always moral cowards. Bullies punch down, never up. And Donald Trump

1:16.0

has made a living for a lifetime out of punching down. Donald's problem is he doesn't like it

1:23.8

flower in the world, as I've long said, is the male ego. And there is no flour in all the world more

1:46.9

delicate than the Trump flower. Let's take a look at the insane tweeting, or whatever it's called

1:53.4

now. Look at it all accumulate. What total madness. This man wants to be the commander-in-chief again, and he's afraid of Kamala Harris,

2:06.8

because he understands humiliation will be at hand. He is an unserious man who was called out

2:15.3

in such a brutal manner at the DNC that his shame will not permit him

2:22.4

to face the woman that shamed him. That's what cowardice is. Now, Trump is entering a period of

2:30.0

self-sabotage because he's spinning. He's lost. The campaign, which was measuring drapes

2:37.4

and predicting a landslide in the Atlantic Magazine is now losing by the widest margin

2:44.0

sustained between opposing nominees in a very, very long time. Kamala Harris is poised to be president because the entire premise of

2:56.9

the race has been inverted, thank God. Whomever is going to lose is the person the race is about.
