  1. I hope they were rotten!

  2. Time for a go fund me page.

  3. I thought throwing tomatoes was a great American tradition. What do I know.

    My only problem with this is it should have been a cream pie.

    Even glitter would’ve been preferable. Now that would have been just Fabulous. Would have been a hell of a thing to get out of that rat’s nest he has sitting on his head though.

  4. He really is a chickenshit in real life. I think the guy is having a mini-meltdown actually. The Iowa caucuses are freaking him out, even if he does come off like he’s confident he has it in the bag. If he doesn’t have it sewn-up when they call in the votes, he’ll be exposed for the pompous ass he really is, and all that braggadocio will have suffered its first real blow. He might even have to tone it down a bit on the bluster…but somehow I just can’t see that in the cards.
