They don’t need to do it on my behalf. If he’s the republican nominee, I will be voting 3rd party of not at all for president.

Please let this be the end for Jebster.

Yeb Bush wants us to vote to abandon the rule of law and surrender our country to fraudulently documented foreigners.

I will never vote to turn the USA into North Mexico.

Why bother attacking? Just hand him a microphone and step out of the way.

Let ‘em! He deserves. There are plenty of wack a mole targets on GOP side. It will do two things: 1) show how conceded the Dems are, and 2) let them attack the stupid GOPers. Letting the cream rise (I.e. Cruz)

They want him to be the nominee. He’s the closest thing to a Mrs. Clinton as they can get, without having her run.

Overtime?

This is at most a part-time unpaid intern gig.

Many hands make for a light load. I welcome Dem efforts now to attack Heb Boosh.
