Thanks for the NEW thread. Last nights gathering was a BLAST. The times in between the events were a scream.
I think any one of us could write Donald’s political speech’s but when he talks about his business experiences NO ONE can do better!
I really tried to listen to Cruz, I just HONESTLY can’t stand that high and LOW nasally speak he goes into, it is beyond irritating!!! Had to shut him off I have no idea how many time he mentioned Trump, but I can imagine it was way to many!!!
Thanks!

Good Morning Dolly
GODD Morning Apple!!!
I thought Rafael was his first name - shouldn’t it be REC?
Just checked thinking I may not have it right. Here’s what Wikipedia has:
Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz (born December 22, 1970) is an American politician and the junior United States Senator from Texas. He is a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 election.
Good Morning Cboldt!!
Amen!
His real first name is Rafael... He’s trying to sound less ethnic by using the nickname for his middle name. More fraud !!!
LOL I waited till this morning, (I just cant stand him) found his speech and fast forward through it just to hear the forks and spoons clash with plates. I would not have talked through that myself...
LOVED this song how cute and true is this!!!
It is ALWAYS sunny and clear here in CA. the liberal hell hole of the US!!! The ONLY reason ANYONE lives here is because of the weather!!!
Good Morning Kenny!!!
Good Morning NIKK !!
