Bill Maher got pretty combative with former RNC chair Michael Steele over his “bullshit” arguments making a sorta-case for Donald Trump. Maher mocked them by saying, “Yes, Donald Trump is a horrible assclown, but he raises a good point.”

Maher went through how Brexit is apparently a harbinger for Trump being elected president, and he warned that if young people don’t come out to vote, “Welcome President Clownmeat!”

He brought up Trump’s very alarming comments about debt and defaulting, asking Steele, “What is the bridge too far? What is the point at which you say my country before my nominee?”

Steele said it’s a matter of individual judgment, but fought with Maher and said he can’t be expected to love Hillary Clinton because Trump is so bad. Maher shot back, “It’s a referendum on decency at this point. This is an indecent man.

Steele made the case that Trump just connects with people in a way that other Republicans aren’t able to, but Maher said a man of the people wouldn’t be “tweeting bullshit at 3 in the morning.”
