Got into an argument with my dad when I went for coffee with him this weekend. I stated that I didn't think much of any of the candidates on either side (you see we discuss politics over coffee)
He told me that he likes Trump because he says a lot of things that need to be said and he's not afraid to do it.
Now kiddies, I'm as conservative as a Canadian can get (politely right of the middle point with apologies). I fired back that that the man is a bigoted idiot that just says the populist thing with no thought to what he's saying. That his solution to everything is "I'll get some smart guys in", he has no policy beyond stupid, he appeals to the lowest denominator, he's gone bust 6 times, and his hair is ridiculous, and god forbid he wakes up hung over one night and has control of the nuclear button."
(I've been angry a lot lately btw)
Then we slowly stirred our coffee and stared at the cellphone kiosk in silence)
