Guys like Rubio tried to start a conversation about how conservatives could help the economy serve everyone. Naturally the voters, who've been taught to hate intellectuals, chose the grifter and here we are.

Term limits? Sure just tell your congress critter to pass a law that would force him/her to go back to work.

Funnily enough, in 2016, the vote rejected the Great Griftess, who has her entire adult life been in it for the money, from cattle futures on forward -- as much money as can be stuffed into the Clinton Foundation. That's the second bullet this free Republic has dodged in sixteen years, fired from the Democratic side of the aisle, as was the first.

xoxoxoBruce, I had reference to the 2016 Republican primary. Would there have been any other with the owes-nobody-anything property? Your uncertainty was puzzling.

I was checking to see if I had missed that claim this year.
Yes, he did gamble a small portion of the money he'd stolen on winning the primary.
However I've read that while technically true it isn't exactly honest because when he got the nomination he paid himself back for his investment out of donations.
But looking at the other 20,000 lies it's a minor point.
