"I don't have to wake up everyday wondering 'what do I beleve?'" Oh, for fuck's sake how stupid does he think people are, and exactly how stupid must one be to fall for such bullshit.

This is the sort of thinking that is supposed to distinguish a great political leader? How fucking embarassing. There absolutely needs to be LESS faith in the public space not more.
