57. And don't ever forget: that bunch will do ANYTHING to win.

Usually it means figuring out how, where, and when to put a thumb on the scale to make sure the outcome is favorable to their side.

The Republican strategy:
If you can’t win fair ‘n’ square, then CHEAT.

And we must NEVER forget that. Always expect the worst from them, and you’ll never be surprised and/or disappointed.
