HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher said that he thinks Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump could go “all the way” and that “Fox tried to put a stake in him and I don’t think they did” on Friday.
“I hear a lot of people say that it’s just a bubble, it’s going to go away just the way Herman Cain and Michele Bachmann, and all those people did. But, you know, you kids are a little young to remember it, but that’s what they said about Ronald Reagan. … when he first floated the bubble of running, and it was a joke. ‘Oh, come on, he had a stupid television show. He’s divorced. He avoided combat. He’s got weird hair and crazy face paint. This guy will never –.” So, for all those people who say Donald Trump could not go all the way, I don’t think they’re right. They didn’t say he would get this far. And, obviously, I don’t know what the results are from last night, but Fox tried to put a stake in him and I don’t think they did.”
He added, “Donald Trump sued me last year. He is the most thin-skinned person in the world.”
