Landing in New York is like landing in a Third World country?

Christie’s doomed if his savior is dissing his Port Authority that way.

Looking at the two if them, I am actually deeply ashamed of my country that he is a major-party candidate for president. The country I thought I lived in would have laughed him out of the room the first time he opened his mouth.

“And maybe because you haven’t paid any income tax for many years.”

In all fairness (and I really hate to grant even a tiny point to that clown), he may have meant “smart” in the sense of “hurt” or “sting”.

I’m watching the debate, and Donald Trump is coming across as no more than the schoolyard bully who is forced to put on a suit and tie. And that is the appeal for his supporters – they’re pretty much all bullies or bully wannabes themselves. It’s the Nazi brown-shirt movement redux.

Well, all the people who were already voting for him are still going to vote for him. I doubt he’s winning over anyone else.

He could go out in the street and shoot somebody and he wouldn’t lose any votes.

One of the few true things he’s ever said.

Hillary did a good job with the tax returns thing – and she kept the email answer contrite and concise. But now Donald’s on the one firm ground he has (running a real estate development business)…until Hillary is now scolded by him for the many subcontractors he’s stiffed. She’s winning. And finally – she busted him for threatening to reneg on the national debt! She’s winning.
