Or is that even more obvious to everybody than the fact Trump goes looking for anyone who will agree with him so he can say he's right?TRUMP on Elizabeth Warren: "I think lack of talent was her problem. She had a tremendous lack of talent ... she is a very mean person and people don't like her. People don't want that.
