I love the phrase. It paints a buccaneer image of a sailor boldly swinging aboard the ship of state and capturing it by whatever means necessary.
I contrast it against the image of Trump boarding from his gold plated ship’s tender, calling the crew names and then appointing more Christopher Rays or Bill Barrs to captain the ship.
Get some help. Better yet, get your candidate some help. Pirate talk ain't it, beakie.
