I can’t.” He said that he hopes voters “get rid of” Trump, continuing: “If things don’t go in the right direction for the midterms… I could go out on the street, stand on any corner and tap 10 people on the shoulder. And all 10 of them, in all likelihood, would be more qualified — ethically, morally, intellectually and spiritually — than Trump. “I’ll vote for Mitt Romney. I don’t care. Anybody over this guy. It doesn’t matter. We have agen judi bola to get rid of him.” Trump has seen the piece and had this to say: Alec Baldwin,...
