Walter Mondale says nature of GOP debate leaves him aghast
Star Tribune ^ | March 9, 2016 | Randy Furst

"We may be introducing a kind of poison into the American political system that can hurt us," Mondale said. "If this sort of stuff is accepted, condoned, is seen as positive, we'll see more of it."

Mondale, who supports Hillary Clinton for president, worries if Donald Trump or Texas Sen. Ted Cruz wins the Republican nomination. Trump, he said, has "stirred up a sub-caucus of Americans that like anti-immigrant talk, that like assaults against decent immigration rules. If there is an America out there that is so brash, so racist, so nativist that they like supporting Trump or so evangelically obsessed they’ll support Cruz, then we are in trouble."

He’s still alive?

Yeah. I thought he was dead, too. I probably had him confused in my mind with Paul Wellstone.

He’s for Hillary? What’s the matter, Bernie is too Jewish for him? I personally would like to see Hillary feel the burn.

Kind of funny hearing this from a guy who lost 49 states in 1984. Now that was a campaign to be aghast over.

Can’t wait for Mike Dukakis to weigh in on this.

He's too busy giving great character references to friends and accessories of terrorists.

A feat which probably will be copied for the Texas Senate primary race in 2018.

I thought he was dead and not just brain dead like he’s been his whole life.

I find myself ‘aghast’ that Fritz chose to offer his two cents, and also that his ramblings were considered by the networks to be newsworthy. Tell it to Gerry Ferraro!

That was my first thought. I thought he died a long time ago. I was wrong. Wow. Who really wants his opinion?
