Neither will Hillary be perfect, but she's too conceited to say it.

18. My goodness
that is part of his appeal. He's honest about it.

I think it'll be a wonderful and progressive journey for this country - something we haven't seen since the early 60's where no doubt mistakes were made - but the country was so much better off than it has been a single day since.

19. John Wayne is not running for president
on the Celuloid Party ticket. When did people stop appreciating words spoken from the heart and begin to look forward to false bravado? Oh. It could have been intensified when * refused to admit he had ever made a mistake in his life.

I guess we are voting for the Television President. Not who has the best ideas and policies to work with the American people.

When did I join the Twilight Zone Planeteers?

21. That's got to be the understatement of the month, at least.
Not a perfect President. He's got that right; if by some miracle he could actually WIN the General Election (I'm not holding my breath on that one) he would be completely CARTERIZED. He'd be a one-term President. (Now what lovely Repuke would get to play the Reagan role in 2012, hmmm?)

25. You have just now only heard him say this? Been saying it for months.
A class act. Unlike Hillary, who seems intent on simply lying or saying or doing whatever she needs to do to attempt to win.

34. That's a shame
because we could use someone with supernatural powers to drag this country out this mess. Where are Superman and Wonder Woman when you need them?

27. Well, of course not. But what's important is that he will be president, not McLame.

32. He's said it for ages he's being humble. The ego is intellectually and physically aggressive.
Like bombing iranand driving up gas prices further.
