I thoroughly recommend [this video](http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0803t52/panorama-paxman-on-trump-v-clinton-divided-america) of Paxman on Trump vs Clinton to everyone. I hope you in America can watch it. Jeremy Paxman is one of the UK’s most ferocious interviewers. He’s on top form here. Beyond saying that he’s equally disdainful, I’m only going to say that it is illuminating.

Dear Mr. Paxman, Donald is still on the ballot because there is no official way to get rid of him at this point in the cycle. Republicans did not learn the lesson of Governor Schwarzenegger in California.
