~I like how Bill calls Trump...(pumpkin head)...Then accuses Trump of sixth grade name calling tactics!

[TheJunedale]

'a flamethrower to a stick fight'

[Ribsletics]

Refers to Donald Trump as Donald Pumpkin-head. Says later, "This is like 6th grade level stuff."

[warrennz]

I use one of Scott Adams' phrases a lot (but I always give him credit):

*_"STUPIDITY IS IMMUNE TO EDUCATION"_*

Brilliant!!!

[tylerstevens]

What Adams says here seems right on the mark, however with Trump I think his persuasion techniques are more instinctual than deliberate. Regardless, they are working.

[GaryVolts]

More important than being a cubical dweller, Dilbert was an engineer.

[Baron_Blue_Max]

The reason I have always respected Bill, despite disagreeing with him on many issues is that while he hates the other side he can still appreciate how terrible his own side is

[IntrepidOnce]

What's really crazy is to watch this clip and then to see how accurate Scott Adams has been in his predictions. Folks you gotta put your bias aside and try to understand there is a method to the madness.

I couldn’t get this on another site,
Glad you still have it here, Mr. Maher
🤗🤗

If you want Donald Trump to win, then by all means, elect Hillary Clinton as your Democratic nominee.

Bill just kept interrupting this guy as he spoke especially when he was explaining what he said....and that just suked.

[evilchaperone]

I'm knew to the party. Scott is a legend.

I would have enjoyed a more thorough discussion from Scott Adams given gis understanding of persuasion and how it applies to Trump. This clip was too short.

[arggabe]

I know it's not a recent release but I would love to hear Scott Adams discuss his books God's Debris and The Religion War with Maher.

[redlightmax]

3:17 "I remember when [Trump] called Dr. Ben Carson the Sheriff of Nodding Off."
I would've just called him Sleepy Ben. See, I can do this shit too!

[duxnihilo]

I've always said that. He's great at manipulation, persuasion and body language. He will win this.

[redlightmax]

Well _that_ clip ended quickly. I'll listen to the full interview on the podcast.

[donomalley]

Thanks so much for posting this: must view video for anyone interested in politics and the future of our country!

[DefWorlds]

Scott Adams looks a little like the actor who played Gul Dukat on DS9.

Now, some years later, Bill Maher has become something of a darling to free minded people thanks to his open mindedness and pragmatism. He's a good guy. So is Scott
