> [@Shoeless](#): > > LOL, I was listening to that speech in my car and couldn’t stop laughing, that guy was so hard-core. I expected him to finish with “Now drop and give me 20!” I finally got to watch it. He just needed some jodhpurs and a couple ivory handled revolvers. “Trump! You magnificent bastard! I read your booook!” Seriously, I thought that was a good speech, especially with all the other military folks behind him. I’m glad he hit the idea that Clinton won’t use the military to conduct torture or commit war crimes. ---

“No, Donald. You don’t” - good stuff ---

Hilary’s biggest problem with her image is that she cannot help but look like your wife after you came home late after having one too many beers and forgot to take out the garbage. She has to work on that sneer to appeal to the swing voters. ---

Sorry - I have to get this out, as I’ve seen this all over any Hillary thread. TWO "L"s in HILLARY. TWO. Don’t know why it’s bugging me so, but it does.
