1. This will be a thread of actual quotes from Donald Trump's press conference yesterday.

3. "She's have a place in life where she wouldn't know what a better job is, going to destroy our country."

5. "[Y]ou can't get a mortgage. So that means it's a lot higher than 10 percent. I guess it is whatever, whatever they want to give over the money and that's a lot more than 10 percent."

7. "In fact, I've heard that substantially more than -- beyond -- actually beyond the number of 100 percent is a much higher number than that. But the government hasn't caught up with that yet."

The small town where I went to college in deep East Texas, a place in the "Piney Woods" that more resembles eastern Louisiana than most people's image of Texas (Monument Valley, from John Wayne movies. Did I tell you about the movie set in Texas on the Red River, the border with Oklahoma? There were mountains in the background. There are no mountains in the country between the Appalachians and the Rockies. It's why they're called the "plains states." Oklahoma barely has hills. Anyway...). The Piney Woods have been accurately described as the "Pine Curtain," because the culture is near impenetrable to change. But in that small town, in the '50's, in the middle of the "Red Scare" you hear so much about, the people of the town entered into a community project to build a hotel in order to attract visitors. It's still there, though in private hands, now. It was built, however, as a community enterprise, for the benefit of all, by the community itself.9. "It's a communist system. You're going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care"
