I’m not kidding when I say I put her on par with Bush

I really can’t stand this woman and the flat out lies disgust me at this point. I was listening to Hillieary this morning on NPR and I was yelling at the radio. My 14 y/o daughter was getting a lesson in how to listen to a politician not answer a question. If you have the […]

With all due respect, I’ve won twice as many states as Sen. Clinton. I’ve won more of the popular vote than Sen. Clinton. I have more delegates than Sen. Clinton. So, I don’t know how somebody who’s in second place is offering the vice presidency to the person who’s in first place. [Long applause.]… But […]
