Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
Here is my example with WFTD.
Tonight we need to see a strong and self assured Trump with a few bon mots. as my dr friend said "I want to see her with cogswheel rigidity on stage!" I said I have no idea what that is but I want to see it too! LOL!

If she has any bon lots tonight they will be so over rehearsed that they will drop like lead balls from her mouth. Don’t know what it is, but I too want to see her do the same thing your doctor friend mentioned. ; )

A+++ 90 min no breaks is going to put a strain on her poor sick body. I am obsessed with the dr vids analyzing all of her symptoms etc.

Who knows how tonight’s show will go
Can the Donald produce a bon mot
Will the liberal “saint”
Roll her eyes, swoon and faint
Or just cough through the whole bloody show

A bon mot or two from Mr. Trump would be very Reaganesque!
Sacre bleu! Two French Portmanteaus in one sentence!

Hillary is not good with the bon mot
What difference does it make if she forgot
IF she is corrupt and lies
Does freaky stuff with her eyes
Tonight Trump will upstage the tottering sot.

Lacking a millimeter of political charisma, Hillary wouldn’t recognize a bon mot if it stood in front of her giving her her EpiPen shot. ;D
