Nita if you find the post from Tomerlin post it to its own thread. And ping us
That’s just screaming for a meme headline but my mind is blank at the moment!
That’s OK and thanks for thinking of me. :-)
It seems that he is also spot on with "Crooked Hillary," that one will stick like glue!
At this point, I’m not sure that stuff even matters. Ted is done. Trump is the presumptive nominee.
You want compliments this morning?? You know we love your threads! Some of the best ever.
I remember reading her statements when they were on line.
It is beyond shameful.
I’ve covered Trump rallies in Orlando and Boca Raton; the town hall in Tampa; and three press conferences: Two at Mara Lago and the one at Jupiter.
Fox has been non stop Cruz this AM !!!!! I changed to OANN!!!
Way to run a tight ship, big guy!
Hi Nita, thanks for your kind words. Yes, we needed hope back then and the need has grown exponentially since. Do not believe I have ever had the feelings for a presidential candidate as I do towards Trump. His honesty and openness should inspire all.
The establishment are shaking in their boots at the moment as they well should be. They have taken had their way for decades, there are few who would challenge them and fewer yet who would “step up to the plate” to offer opposition..........
I dated a man a few years back whose son was with the Secret Service. Severed on presidential details of Bill/Hill; GWB, then Obama. LOVED LAURA AND GWB. said they were always kind and considerate and respectful. Said Bill and Hill were terrible and they had a very hard time keeping agents. would quit. Hillary was the positive worse and CHelsea even young was a lot like her mom. Bill more easy going. When he was assigned O’s detail, he also resigned the SS and went into LEO in his native Wisconsin. Lots of interesting stories on all of them Said the few weeks he was with BHO and Moosh before he decided he had enough, were awful. Very arrogant and demanding and demeaning of all of them in LEO
I somehow missed your post yesterday. But, welcome! The people on these threads are amazing. Knowledgeable, funny and just so positive! I love reading them and getting my day started riding the Trump Train.
Add me to the list - Reno, NV
