  1. Note the lack of the word “qualified” before the 10…

  2. Coalminers, car-workers and other good people, no doubt honest people.

  3. I believe Roy Moore is available :sunglasses:

  4. 10? Why not 100 or 1000? My 4 year old comes up with more convincing lies.

    Got names?

  5. Many, over ten, are vying for and wanting the White House Chief of Staff position.

    Maybe he’s talking about their ages, not how many there are.
