He'll jam this nominee down America's collective craw, and then change the rules back before he has to give up Power, so if we want the Same Deal, WE will have to change it again so he can bitch about how unfair we are when he's in the minority...
So we can KEEP choking on it.

I never suspected in my life that turtles were capable off such hatred and evil.
