I heard Gary Johnson being interviewed on Stossel, he makes Nancy Pelosi look like a genius.

I have criticized Trump for being petty and argumentative. I don't defend him when he does that, not because he isn't right but because he looks like a foodfight participant. Articulating my prediction of mid 2015, Stewart Varney has been saying all week that it's Trump against the world.

Trump is 70 years old and his basic personality is not going to change. I watched his endorsement of Ryan, Ayotte, and McCain tonight. I could tell that Trump was trying not to focus on himself and to project the image of a team player, but he just could not resist focusing on himself.

Trump does not seem to understand that taking shots at Republican candidates during a presidential campaign is like shooting at his his own feet because he doesn't like his shoes. Attacking Republican politicians running for re-election makes it less likely that the supporters of those candidates will support him.

Trump gave me the impression that his advisers had twisted his arm to get him to announce the endorsements. I also question how effective an endorsement is when it follows months of criticism. Trump's endorsements seemed devoid of genuine enthusiasm. Likewise, many of the endorsements Trump has received seem half-hearted.
