It's a shame she isn't a brilliant orator.

I guess we're gonna rehash the whole convention.

ReplyDeleteIf I had not been convinced long, long ago that I'd sooner eat a bullet than vote for Trump, that line would have done it. That was part of the speech I heard last week on the way home, and it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Aside from the basic merits of working together and working for self-improvement, that un-American message needs to be punched in the back of the neck repeatedly.
Even George Washington didn't want to be king, Donald the Worst.
