But, the entire world must live like they do in their box, because they know what is best for everyone.
Makes sense.

Trump isn't popular here.....

Trump doesn't have a chance of winning the state against Clinton or Sanders, same for any of the other potential GOP nominees.

Life swap...


Take a inner city yuppie and put him on the farm, with no instructions and take the cell phone and computer away. ONE YEAR.

Then the opposite, with the farmer put in a multi apartment complex with many floors, with no instructions, like sardines. ONE YEAR.


Of coarse neither is going to see how the other can live like that. Both will HATE the others life.



Many things being done at a national level, have no business being done. Like the farmer lives by the laws of a city.

Cruz is a weasel. Not only that, but I think most people know it. He could never win a general election.

So Brooklyn and Queens are a wilderness? Well, I guess they are a wilderness of another kind.

I think you meant to say the Hudson River?

Would you rather vote for the weasel or the women who did everything in her power to punish women her husband abused?

As opposed to the Democratic lion who murdered a woman with his own hands.

I just don't remember to many liberals making much of a fuss about him being in the Senate.

Yup....Teddy Kennedy was a murderer & a coward who left a women to die, but he was a lefty, so he got a pass.

If those were the choices, I probably wouldn't vote. Maybe Bernie Sanders will get the nomination?
