A+++ Ann has lost her edge.
Or any time... A++
Excellent! A++++
My take on Ann.
#1 Everyone talks their book. And I don’t mean a published book. I mean everyone expresses opinions based on the almighty dollar. She has gone for the paleocon niche ans the paleos love Trump for his trade and immigration comments even though he has contradicted his own immigration statements and his trade statement is not necessarily protectionist it’s merely that he’d negotiate better. Therefor Ann has to be a sTrumpette
Wow. That was awesome.
Unbelievable discussion.
First Christie, now Trump. RME
What you did there, I see it.
Geraldo is just one of at least 6 reasons I hate The Five. Bolling and Tanteros are the only decent ones on the show. The rest of the regulars and their subs are extremely annoying.
I enjoyed this exercise. What I discovered is that the word jactancy appears to be a more common form for the word, jactance. Both are nouns that, depending on the degree to which they are exhibited, may indicate narcissistic personality disorder. Since it would be hard to find anyone in politics who practices humility, it is no wonder we take notice of candidates who are focused on future goals rather than past accomplishments.
Why does Bush want this and who would want him? I just don’t get it. He doesn’t even seem to have the fire Romney had for it. RME And Trump, it’s all about him...he won’t go second place, would he?
Forgot. A++++
History is replete with the jactance & its fatal consequences. (Hopefully North Korea.)
Nice weekend, everyone.
Jeb does seem lackadaisical as a candidate and can the Trump ego fit into the two slot?
Remains to be seen.
I can’t see Trump as VP.
He’s already revealed his understanding of the world and how it works. They should just offer him a big fat juicy gov’t contract (to build something) to go away.
The wall, let him build the wall. He can even invoice Mexico.
lol.
Perfect!
Seemed like the natural progression.
