Connie and Libby were discussing a contrary Presidential candidate. Libby demanded."How can you not be offended by that rude, vulgar, sexist, un–American, bigoted, racist, populist demagogue?" Connie said."Wow! That's a mouthful!" Libby said."Well, That's what the TV anchors call him every night." Connie said."Yet they berate him for name–calling. he's about as 'un–American' as apple pie; he's a capitalist! A bigot can't abide other groups or religions. A racist believes that his race is superior. Have you ever heard him say that he can't stand certain groups or religions, or that whites are Numero Uno? A populist supports the rights and power of the people. That's bad?! A demagogue gets power by appealing to voters' emotions and prejudices. What candidate Hasn't tried that? Regardless, once The Donald 'gets' power, he won't be a demagogue—He'll be the President!" Libby said."Yes, a rude, vulgar, sexist one."
