The scary part: Your grammar is STILL better than Trump's.

Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

Dems are so on tilt that they're resorting to being the grammar police. Anything to end their streak of Ls.

You are incorrect. "They're" is a contraction of "they are." "Their" refers to possession. You used "their" incorrectly.

So until every American speaks and writes perfect King's English without ever making a mistake, we must have open borders and be overrun by foreigners here illegally? Got it. (And I guess illegal aliens all speak and write their own language perfectly.)

An American committed a typo on a message board! Total justification for open borders!

This is fine when you're a starving student, but not so good if you have to do this in middle age.
So you're saying that poverty makes people fat?

I'm actually crying from busting my gut over your juvenile retort.

There'll be happy days when Trump the Toasted Cracker is impeached.

Good luck with that, for whatever it's worth. Bill Clinton was getting oral sex and using a cigar as a sex toy in the Oval Office, while a foreign government that had the place bugged was able to blackmail him. However, he still served his full second term despite being impeached for lying about it to investigators.

And haven't you heard? Every attempt at impeaching Donald J. Trump makes the wall ten feet higher.
