I don't get it. I really don't.

Coronation coming up. Let's at least see what the folks have to say, OK? There will be plenty of time to despair later, if that's called for....
Forgive me, could not resist.

I read one that too. Good stuff. In a way, it's kinda too bad he doesn't cut loose a bit. There's ample material. He could eviscerate Trump. He actually seems to have some respect for Senate decorum, unlike a few of the GOP Neanderthals.

I think he might do that but in a decorous fashion (as much for contrast as for anything else). We got a little sample recently on Morning Joe.

The lady is an awful candidate. More maddening is the fact that she is the Democratic candidate.

The fact that she makes every Republican run around like they're a chicken with their head cut off is good enough for me. After eight years of these fuckwads giving Obama the finger and tossing every olive branch he offered up in the woodchipper, it's about time we got a democrat who isn't going to take their shit anymore.

He is doing a very good job in the Senate and would be a great VP. Same with Warren. Both would of been great as VP but HRC has enough negative press some deserved, most made up conspiracy lies to go around. Plus the country maybe ready for a woman pres, but VP too! I don't think so.

Still think HRC and Sanders was a winner.

Clinton Kaine will work for me!

Well John they are only starting, I was polled by CNN last evening. Poor dear was having a hard time staying on script and not laughing. She did wish me the sweetest goodbye as she finally let go and laughed. :

I guess the old charmer has not lost his touch.
