Pocket Turtle RACING to the rescue!!
Nobody else thinks we need more Acts Of Love

Sunken is sunken. No matter what.
His campaign is a Zombie. Shoot it in the head and bury it.
A long, protracted struggle at 3%.
That would not surprise me.
Eeyore racing? Hehehe
Racing Turtles?
“Bush has expressed exasperation at the state of the race, and how a bullying tycoon with a tenuous grasp of foreign policy has commandeered the primaries.”
Trump knows more about foreign policy now than Jeb! will know the rest of his life.
Just needs a little tweeking.
Heb, take yourself, W, Columba, and your fugly son and go back your home state of Connecticut and curse god and die.
There are only a couple places that need to be nuked off the face of the earth. Yours is one on them.
