Anybody have any idea who is the King and who is the Queen?

I read it like this.

Q was commenting on Lindsey Graham's refusal to 'talk to Obama' on his committee.

He said that you don't go after the KING until the middle to the end of the game.

Its good to take out the QUEEN first. I'm not sure if the QUEEN has to be a specific female, though Hillary could fit the bill, surely. I think he may have meant, you have to take out the other powerful player(s) that support the KING so that you leave the KING defenseless, vulnerable, and weak.

And then you go after the KING.

Oh come on, Oracle .... are you rusty? Don't you recognize trash talk??

The Queen is obvious.

Linda is "Protecting" Trump by foot-dragging on Zero until the time is right, allowing our master showman in chief to build up the fight. (For the literal minded, think of POTUS as "DON KING.")

Enjoy the show.

..you have to take out the other powerful player(s) that support the KING..

Well, if Graham performs as usual, we may have a list of those players that he perhaps will haul before his committee shortly after the Grand Opening of a Hagen Daz franchise in South Heck.

...unless he has a very slightly hostile interview or a bad hair day in the interim.

(I'll buy the ice cream at that Hagen Daz if I'm wrong...)
