Race to the bottom: Trump thinks America is just another real estate development

Washington Post - Donald Trump said Tuesday morning that Ben Carson, his rival for the GOP presidential nomination, isn't qualified for the Oval Office. "I think Ben just doesn't have the experience," Trump told George Stephanopolous on ABC's "Good Morning America.".."I built a phenomenal business with some incredible, iconic assets, one of the really truly great real-estate businesses," Trump said in a debate in September. "You need this kind of thinking to bring our country back."

A truly independent journalist with his feet firmly grounded in the reality of neighborhoods and everyday people. -- Patrick Mazza, Progressive Populist

A truly original voice in American journalism: humorous and plain spoken and filled with common sense -- Jay Walljasper, Utne Reader

Inimitable -- Mother Jones Magazine

Sam's a cynical cat -- Marion Barry

Whatever the debate, the Review's sharp critiques encourage us to look out our window, notice and act upon what we see, and also to look further -- to the rest of the country and globe -- to see how the organized big world interacts with our more spontaneous small worlds. - Utne Reader
