“The hard fact is that Nixon lacks taste”–Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. in 1960. Never the strongest argument. twitter.com/SteveRattner/s…

@kausmickey Someone go ask David Brooks to go check the crease in Trump’s pants so we can know if he’ll be a good POTUS.
. @kausmickey Donald Trump was born rich and still managed to develop nouveau riche tastes. What an achievement!
@kausmickey surely what will persuade blue collar whites to abandon Trump is coastal elites calling him tacky
@kausmickey That’s a lefty preference. Form over substance and principle, election of obama, Clinton on the sax, etc. GOP’s just not cool.
@kausmickey I believe I have taste, but I want that apartment. And I would consider it very, very tasteful.
@kausmickey Perhaps, but it worked in 1960, right?. And Steve Jobs said Bill Gates had no taste in 1997, and that kinda worked too.
@kausmickey We all agree that personal taste is the most important quality for a potential president.
@kausmickey @SteveRattner That photo surely doesn’t make Rattner’s point.
@kausmickey @SteveRattner It is if you vote for people on substantive issues such as a pant leg crease.
@kausmickey @SteveRattner Lol. Pay your fines Ratner. U could have that if not for being a crook and getting fined. How do u have a job
@kausmickey Nixon had an eye for a good Republican cloth coat.
@kausmickey That was the kicker. The argument is that he’s a total liar. Where are his tax returns? You’re way too smart to fall for this.
@kausmickey Nixon is a good comparison. The Presidency is not the place for psycho dramas . . . Trump is dangerous. Cruz is better.
@kausmickey Rattner is like Ted Knight in Caddyshack: “That vulgar clown will never be a member of MY club!”
@kausmickey @SteveRattner In Aristotalian terms, Trump fails on both Magnanimity and Magnificence.
@kausmickey The working classes lack taste too. Part of Trump’s appeal. Class condescension is an off-putting thing. Tasteless & tactless.
@davidberger @kausmickey If Windows 98 was blinged out like that apartment, Microsoft would have made Applesauce out of Jobs.
