This windbag is as delusional about his presidential ambitions as Larry Hogan.

Is this the guy who always looked wet-eyed and on the verge of tears?

He smoked like a chimney. Probably stunk of stale tobacco. One thing I agreed with MichelleO on:

I think Michelle would have treated any Republican sitting beside her in the same way.
