Said, <b><i>most hardcore con Reps ie a majority hate/despise Obama.</i></b><br /><br />Which is why Boehner was fed-up and resigned mid-term and Ryan will probably be bounced from Speaker in Jan. Boehner doesn't/didn't hate anyone. Just give him a good bottle of liquor on the old course at St. Andrews and he's a happy camper.<br /><br />And Ryan has been probably ruing the day he agreed to become Speaker for the past 7/8 mos. er when Trump looked like the presumptive Rep nominee.<br /><br />What a tangles web Trump has weaved ...shilohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490952508600134457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-91860499761473941282016-11-04T14:13:53.571-05:002016-11-04T14:13:53.571-05:00Bernie helped HRC immeasurably by giving her a pas...Bernie helped HRC immeasurably by giving her a pass on her emails. tcrossehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13861315905142017219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-4041472531113867032016-11-04T14:13:21.334-05:002016-11-04T14:13:21.334-05:00Ah, OK.

He just thought he was “callous,” a “tightwad,” an “Ebenezer Scrooge” and a flat-out “evil” man “who has no care and no concern for the working class of America.”<br /><br />Kyle Smith may not have known either man.

Did he give it again?<br /><br />As for needing to stay viable, as someone said: For what? His Senate seat is safe. If he loses he can retire with a pension from the Senate. If the Dems tried to run someone for his seat, it would probably backfire. Bernie is fairly well liked in the state and, even if he were not, Vermonters don't take kindly to meddling. <br /><br />He can afford to be independent. <br /><br />Bernie never was a member of the Democrat Party until December last year. Maybe not even then. Since losing the nomination, he has reverted to calling himself an independent. If revert is the right word. On his campaign website, Wikipedia and Senate pages he never stopped calling himself an independent. <br /><br />What can Crooked Hilary possibly do for or to him if she is elected?<br /><br />John HenryJohn henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529920006532904660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-26627246276147894892016-11-04T08:58:53.144-05:002016-11-04T08:58:53.144-05:00Shiloh, 538 gives Trump one chance in three.
