        I repeat, it was a mistake to treat him seriously as a candidate, his behavior needed to be addressed and someone needed to pull him aside and ask him what the hell he thought he was doing.

        Donald Trump in the presidential race needed to be treated not as a proper contender, but as a rampaging bull that had ran onto the track and started goring the jockeys.

        “Russia, if you’re listening…” should have been the moment any idea of him as a legitimate candidate was dropped, and he was placed into Federal custody.
