I mean, if you eyes arent glued shut!”
When you add another 5% to Trump’s share due to the bias in polling, this should open the eyes of the left wing masters.
And a former Obama aide just told Comey shut up, we got this! Sorry I cant remember the guys name.
... and to think this shallow nitwit was head of the FBI.
As opposed to Communists?

Omg, thanks for clarifying! I had that a twee bit mixed up, huh. ;)
Oh I think he’s been a Democrat for awhile.
Comey has gone from hero to villain and back so many times Ive lost count.
