10. There's a very fine line between "Saying it like it is" and just being a plain old Asshole.

Personally, I think the trend towards verbally abusive "reality" show hosts greased the skids towards Trump. IMO, they are all Assholes, at least on camera. I don't understand why anyone would find that entertaining. Maybe voyeurism, fantasizing about being able to be rude to other people in ways they don't dare? I could do with less Asshole chefs, bar "experts", "Dr"s, talent show judges, etc.
