  1. Let’s be fair: Yiddish ain’t the guy’s first language.

    Actually, in that little video clip he was not entirely un-reminiscent of Jerry Stiller. “This guy… this is not my kind of guy”

  3. Is he going for the “schwing” voters?

    I swear if Hillary beats this prick by 10 points, I’m going to be pissed that it wasn’t 20.

  5. I saw a clip of this on CNN. Vulgar is far too weak a word to describe Trump:

    “Grand Rapids, Michigan (CNN)Donald
    Trump attacked Hillary Clinton in vulgar terms Monday night, saying
    that her bathroom break during the last Democratic debate was just too
    “disgusting” to talk about and then stating she “got schlonged” by
    Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential race.”
    edit
    I don’t speak Yiddish and I suspect Trump doesn’t either.
