Washington (CNN)The battle for America's political soul could come down to a street brawl between two boys from Queens and Brooklyn.

Chucky is at least a smart POS, but Trump already knows him well—and has the better hand.

What would be interesting is if Trump could lure him into a Ronny and Tip relationship.

When New York is refused all federal monies, he may change his tune.

“Sanctuary cities” will be “Defunded Cities,” Chuckie.

If any of these rat bastards block anything Trump wants to do, i hope Trump goes on tv and exposes these people. Unlike Bush who was a wimp and did not defend himself.

Trump will roll over Chuck Schumer like he was not even standing in the way.

“last week's election means he is the lone hope for Democrats.” Looks like it is over for them!!!!!
