Just a good quote…
“I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it? To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.”

Sounds like he’s an arrogant ass who can’t understand why everyone doesn’t think the way he does.
Why does this man hate individuals who think differently?

I don’t think he says he hates them. He’s stunned and surprised by their existence.
His quote specifically makes reference to one candidate being “shit with bits of broken glass in it”
And in fact, he never mentions which one is which.
You could take his name away from it, and probably post it on any conservative blog or forum and get a chuckle out of it.

Note I didn’t mention a party, either.
I’ll stand by what I said, no matter where that particular comment was posted. It’s an awfully arrogant thing to say. He has his mind made up [Looking at it strictly on its own merit, it doesn't say for who... but we both know better, yes?] and can’t understand why people aren’t thinking his way.
(This isn’t Ars, don’t take the “hates” so literally. It’s nuanced, and you should know me better. :p )
