​Being a bully is never a good look. Especially when you're a bully who starts fights and then proceeds to lose them. ​​Yeah, that was not exactly a successful attempt at bullying. You know the old saying pick on someone your own size? That clearly does not need to be applied here.

After being targeted by her bully, Sprague not only fights back, but fights back with a terrible fury.

After spending about $100 on lower-bowl tickets and driving 2½ hours from the Lafayette area, Tracey Hernandez was nervous as she took her seat near midfield of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Friday night.

The massive five state victories brought forth by Donald J.

Cruz had already sunk himself with his now infamous "New York Values" rants....which has killed him politically. a self-inflicted wound, and John Kasich, the "1 victory vs. 41 state losses", is going nowhere, fast...and the GOP POTUS Primary voters know it.
