8. oh my god no - a real died in the wool tea bagger, misogynist, homophobe

With a veto proof majority in the house and senate we will be just like Kansas in no time.

Opportune for Branstad because he won't be there to sign the bills that take Iowa back to the 19th century

7. I hadn't thought about it from that angle...

always a silver lining.

4. Based on what...

...particular skill set?

Anything? He eats in Chinese restaurants?

5. Well, you know Ben Carson grew up Black

That obviously qualifies him for HUD. Eating in Chinese diners, sort of makes sense...........to Trump.
