craft a message that tells us how inefficient operations, government regulations, entitled unions - what have you - have kept us from "job creation."

Let's let him win the nomination before we bring 'em all out.

I'm not happy with our guy, but he didn't ruin the lives of thousands of our fellow citizens before running tor the WH.

That seems to be a Republicon thing.
