Rubio spent more than Hillary? Another embarrassment.

The donors got played.

No dynasties.

That pretty well sums up my opposition to Jeb, even if he were the reincarnation of William F. Buckley himself.

In Jeb’s case, he’s a liberal, but that really wasn’t my concern.

I know they are interested in spending all Jeb’s money.

If I were one of those donors, I’d be blowing a gasket about right now. I’d look for some kind of contract in the future that allows me to cut off access to the cash.

After putting up with Pinky Tuscadero, nobody in America was clamoring for Leather Tuscadero - but Happy Days added her anyway.

Yeb! should go tippy-toe off to Florida and do all those cool things we’re keeping him from.

The Cheap Labor Express is really taking it in the shorts this time around, couldn’t happen to a nastier bunch of traitors.

Trump has really changed the paradigm here.

He has done more with Twitter and Instagram than all of the wealthiest RINOs with all of their checkbooks have been able to accomplish.

I suspect they have learned their lesson. Karl Rove will be working at Burger King next Spring.

So, “Pinky” is GW and “Leather” is Jeb?
