Yes, he’s a volatile man running in sensitive times under the banner of troubled party. But he started off with the image of a bi-partisan straight-shooter with a clear, selfless sense of proportion.

Well, of course she’d say that- being newly naturalised, she didn’t experience the hellish years under Bill Clinton, before George W. Bush cut the tax rate for the top bracket.
The endless lines for a bowl of gruel, the vast slave labor camps in the Dakotas, the constant propaganda from “Big Dawg”, how Hillary and her “Gang of Four” censored all cultural productions; the way people like Newt Gingrinch were rounded up and put on show trials; how Rush had to broadcast on a hidden transmitter from a rebel base high in the Idaho Rockies…
