I can NOT do better than that! Best line of the day!
Democrat voters wish for the government to take care of them, and vote accordingly. It is in that spirit that I sincerely wish for each and every Democrat voter to go broke.
It doesn’t matter. They’re still in control of everything even when they lose.
a fool and his money are soon parted
