"There is no way to sufficiently sully a pig or mock a clown. The effort only draws one further onto the opponent’s turf and away from one’s own principles and priorities.There is no way to shame a man who lacks conscience or to embarrass an embarrassment. He is hollow, inconsistent, dishonest and shifty… and those who support him either love him in spite of it, or even more disturbingly, because of it. It is hard to know where the hard bottom is beneath this morass of lies and bile. He has changed the very definition of acceptability as well as the expectations of the honor of one’s words. He has exalted the art of deceit to a new political normalcy.This has made him nearly impervious to even the cleverest takedowns. Says Chris Matthews, 'Truth holds little power, and the media is still enthralled by the monster it made."
