This is not a joke, though it will probably be regarded as such. I disliked Dore until after the election when I realized he was correct about many things, and I certainly like his "long term" approach to the party's future. He has charisma (he's a stand up comedian), and would be able to outwit and certainly out shout Trump in a debate. He even has his own derogatory nickname for Trump (Donny Tiny Hands).
Same here. I like him more than Cenk Uyghur or right-wingers Sargon of Akkad or Alex Jones. Of course I worry about his political inexperience, (which he doesn't have a huge business empire to compensate with).
