Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are Crays. The GOPe RINOs are TRS-80s. The DemonKKKrats are broken abacuses.

Hey, let's not disparage the abacus! When I was a young man, my mom would challenge me to calculate figures, me with a calculator, she with an abacus. She won every time. In the old days people relied on their minds, not computers, and got the job done. So let's just say the DemonKKKrats use broken marbles to attempt counting.

There was method of fast arithmetic developed by a Jewish man while in a concentration camp... gives one amazing skills at fast calculations.

"The Trachtenberg Speed System Of Basic Mathematics".
