He’s only in it to screw up the SC Primary. If he can take votes from a conservative which would help Jeb.

He’s only in to block a conservative in SC. Then he’s out.
He’s working for The Cheap Labor Express. So is Huckabee.

No the “conservative” suckers voted this turd back into the senate just like they did his soul mate in Kentucky the turtle man without a spine. Why we just couldn’t go on without these fearless creatures who vowed to fight obama to the death if they got control of the Congress. How is your saviors working out for you suckers???

If Limp Wrist or it’s fellow traveler Jeb is the candidate we get our buts kicked on a landslide scale of destruction.
