I think they need to printout and hand out lists of their candidates at the polls. Volunteers could hand them out. They should also hand out at PA rallies.
I can’t believe they’re not on top of this after all the delegate issues they’ve had.
Yep....just heard Trump say this....laws like these should be within community or state levels.
Cross dressing grannies.. Oh noes.
I’ve seen some Grannies that dress like eighteen year olds.
Scarier than trannies..sometimes.
Prince has knocked Cruz off the news. Ted Who?
Yep...Prince has knocked Lyin cRuz and the potty plight off of the news.
Thanks for posting such great numbers for Trump!
1,400 delegates for Trump is still a possibility. Trump can still can pull a poker straight.
You forgot a TRIGGER ALERT!
TMZ and other popular culture programmes were praising Trump. First time no negative/ridiculing about Trump.
And he will play any hand with a perfect poker face. SCRuz needs to learn when to fold em.
Cruz may not know how or when.
ABSOLUTELY the perverts will take advantage!
“Trump just clarified the transgender thing on Hannity. Said NC punished for that law but if they want that, fine. He said that should be determined on a local level, too many big issue on the federal level.”
Good for Sean to let Trump expand on his earlier statement. GO TRUMP GO
I bet lyin Ted DESPISES Prince....lololol
That makes me laugh! I’m not certain who would actually want corn cobs for cleanup, either! ;-)
Oh yes I watched parts of that when he first got into the race, really awesome. I loved when he said Congress does stuff because it sounds good (tax shelters are evil!), but with no regard for the consequences, called them stupid I think.
I like to keep you guys here up to date. :-)

I was a Townie,aka as, a person from The Civilized World. I had no idea what the corn cobs were for, and wondered why they weirded up a Sears Catalog so that it was unreadable.
July 23...what fun if daughters and granddaughter can find time to come together! We spend every moment remembering, teasing and laughing when we are not eating!
