"That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior. This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president."

"In the Alinksy tradition, he was being the person he needed to be in order to achieve the position he needed to achieve . . . He was authentically dishonest."

In July, he came under fire for suggesting there should be no mosque near the 9/11 attack site "so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia ."
