RE: "Honestly, if my wife had $20 billion dollars, I wouldn’t do anything but travel and fish. And be nice to my wife.

I always said the same thing about John McCain. I can't understand why a person with a great home, a loving family and riches most people only dream about would be so obsesses with living in the swamp instead of enjoying what life has to offer.

Another recent example would be "Me-again" Kelly. She got $69MILLION for 16 months of a TV show no one watched and now she's trying to get back on Fox because knowing that people are looking at her is more important than her family, her home or anything else.

Beto is looking to play the role of king maker. 80 million is a good start.

I imagine he’s had a very rough weekend. A lot of pressure on a losing candidate with no true desire to get on board and help Americans - which is where politics is headed

So would I, and I don’t even know your wife!

With the same outcome as his run against Cruz. Just sayin’. Sometimes when you win the lottery (his heiress wife) you sit back and enjoy life. So Robert, unlax. Maybe get the band back together.

“The ‘rats would not nominate him anyway. He’s white and he’s male (more or less).”

The way the RAT Party is heading, my bet is that their 2020 Candidate is Calypso Louie Farrakhan. The only open question with Calypso Louie is will the Secular Progressive Jews vote for him, and finance his campaign? Calling George Soros!

With his wife’s money, he can finally take some lessons and learn how to actually play his guitar.

No one said you would be. I think your ego is bigger than your brain. Go hide. No one likes you.
