Today’s Cryptogram

You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications, unfortunately they are copyrighted so we can't use them here. So, we're just going to make up our own.
The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
Solving the puzzle under 8 minutes is good, under 6 very good, under 4 excellent and under 2 "you're a pro!"
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
Solution to our last puzzle:

Usually, I’m slow but sure. This quote fell in place as quickly as I could write the letters. The “t”, strangely, was obvious. Love this author’s quips!
If only I’d seen your comment.

WOW!!!!!!
Gonna make me feel cocky......Y was that so easY?
Ever wonder why It ain’t over till it is over
Gotta remember that name configuration, 4-5, 3rd and 4th letter of last name the same. Unlike MARK TWAIN another common 4-5, with 2nd of the first name identical to third of the last. Know your 4-5 names.
Nice one. 3 minutes. The E, the single letter word, and lots of trial & error.
Yes. In threes.
Pair up.
Less than 1 min. Got the e, then single letter word. Guess at author, and the rest fell into place.

I was having a hard time with that Donald Trump quote but I left the room and came back and “saw” Trump name clearly. Then it was easy. Fun!
9 minutes. Got wrong-footed from the get-go. It was a berra.
