Trump/Cruz

We have the most out of control /utterly amoral corrupt Senate and House leadership in our lifetime.
They are owned by Billionaires and foreign governments !
A Trump Presidency will stop their reign of terror on all of us.
And yet again this day we witness the triumph of lesser evil voters over the forces of conservatism.
Thanks guys!
They just want to go to Cuba and stock up on their Cuban cigars.
Turds
Insanity from communists.
Sickening.
