Also not pulling punches: saying Trump is playing "white identity politics", saying he's playing his supporters for suckers, "you voted to burn the house down and now the house is on fire, but he hasn't done one thing to make your life better."

I think he's going to have a strong night tonight.

I also liked what he said about Reaganism: "Reagan conservatism, economically, is just like communism: It sounds good in theory, but we tried it, and it failed in practice."
I just love the way he frames things. Fresh, insightful, and knowledgeable perspective.

Very calm, very confident, doesn't yield or give up.

I'm really looking forward to his leaving a large mark on the field tonight.
