Crazy Jebra needs a mental evaluation if she thinks she has any chance of winning the nomination.

“This explains George H. W. Bush (lost to the democrat), Bob Dole (lost to the democrat), George W. Bush, John McCain (lost to the democrat) and Mitt Romney (lost to the democrat)”. No, I don’t see any pattern.
