Jan 2015

from Obama's record would be the kiss-of-death for any Dem candidate. What will Hillary do?.....who knows what the new and improved Hillary team will bring to the table but I will say this, if there is the slightest hint of a stale candidate coming back to the nomination table bringing with them the same-old foot-stomping rage rants and nothing new or creative to offer voters of all stripes, well maybe popcorn will be the future staple diet for many.

I'm still going to rip open a BIG bag of popcorn, pull out the folding lawn chairs and watch the clown car parade their loons through streets of this nation.
