      1. Living in Rob Ford's Toronto is turning out to be excellent preparation for understanding Trump-era American politics.

      2. Memo to the elite media & political class: all the things about Trump that make you cringe are what his base loves about him.

      3. Rob Ford talked about performing cunnilingus on his wife. It did not hurt his poll numbers one bit. Not one bit.

      4. Rob Ford used every vile racial and ethnic slur imaginable. His base did not care.

          5. Everything about Trump that you might consider crude, rude, or even vile is, to his base, a mark of authenticity. Proof that he's honest.

          @HeerJeet comparing him to Rob Ford is pretty smart. Sad how many people mistake being an asshole for honesty though

          @CorComm Trump is a little bit different in that regard. His comments definitely hurt him with Latinos.

          @michaelmurrayca there is nothing 'Regular Guy' abt Trump. He is a brand that transcends the GOP brand. @HeerJeet
