Poor little TBP, his candidate sucks so bad he is reduced to posting infantile snarks about other candidates because he has nothing worthwhile he can post about his candidate

Ted Cruz’s presidential run is trumpery.

Here's a better one from Merriam-William Dictionary.

TRUMP: a dependable and exemplary person.

Go here for the link and scroll down for the noun definition.

I think my definition "trumps" yours.

It's a clever way to get your message across :- )

And hey, I found some soft jazz music to listen to any time you want to relax.   It's called A Triumphant Trumpet Medium.

Doctors actually recommend this music for the temporary relief of TDS.   So enjoy, my FRiend.

Wow aren't you cute. Now put down the crayons and go back to the napping mat where your teacher will wake you up when its time for recess.

The only time that I have ever seen any more embarrassing idol worship is when Mike Pappas sang "Twinkle, Twinkle Kenneth Star".

You Democrat trolls REALLY need to go back to Democrat Underground. You’ll be MUCH happier there.

Oh, so we are going to grade school over plays on someone’s name?

Ok. Fine. Let’s play:

TBP could stand for:

The Bald Punk
This Be Pathetic
Total Bull Puckey
Taking Bad Pills
Throwing Bim and Poo

Hey, this is fun! Anyone else want to play?
