He tells reporters to ask the other candidates if they know how to clean a gun. "People are looking for a presidential candidate who reminds them more of the guy they work with rather than the guy that laid them off," he says to crowds, small and large.

"One day this is going to be a park." Squint enough - and hold your nose against the smell - and you can just...
