Not gonna work........

Anyone who supports Trump or this thread is a moron.

Anyone who supports Cruz or this thread is a moron......

Anyone who takes my comments as being serious is a moron...........

See? Never used the word "YOU" once............Well, I just did for the first time but that doesn't count.

Here is what I’m hoping.

I’m hoping it’s ONLY the heat of battle. It makes people do strange things. Once the battle is over, I’m hoping they can come together, in some way, to defeat any democRAT the left puts up.

Personally, I don’t think it’ll be either cankles or rumplehair. cankles legal problems with e-mail are around the corner (to some extent) and the DNC simply doesn’t want rumplehair.

I believe it’ll be gaffe-a-minute joe or horseface.

Thanks for speaking up and letting all know we are being watched. And just in time, I might add.

And don’t even open Vanity posts on politics.

And stick with facts, not feelings.

I like the over-use of the Dan Rather standards of proof..

It hadda be...therefore it was.

Makes for good discussion.
