Expect Trump to announce he will drop Pence from ticket.

Nikki Haley will likely be his VP.

She may be too smart

She’ll want a post tRump career

But then again she strikes me as an opportunist

Haley?

As Obama might say, she’s smart enough!

As for me, it’s not her intelligence I have a problem with, nor her gender or national origin or skin color or wardrobe – but maybe everything else!

The single biggest mistake that Obama made was not making one of the Bank CEO’s fall on the sword…

That and working under the delusion that the Republicans could exhibit any level of good faith…

They made him a gift of their greed, their law-breaking, and their outrageous lack of remorse. If the Democrats had prosecuted, it might have gone some way towards curing some people’s disillusionment with politics as usual.

Unfortunately, the Democrats either were compromised themselves or behaved as if they were – and so, as one result, a “Tea Party” was mobilized and we’re still paying the price.

 

Obama picked Biden partly because of this very delusion.

I think they’re elapids. Rear fanged, they chew to release their venom, and so can’t strike through loose, thick fabric. But some of them can spit venom in your eye from a distance. Sneaky buggers, and mean.
