It's the way Trump speaks. Have you noticed how he purses his lips? Makes me think of a hen about to lay an egg every time he speaks. Sometimes it distracts me from hearing the new beauts he's about to say.

He will claim he owns them.

It will resonate.

Don't underestimate this...

He's energetic and has a folksy, direct manner which sells well.
But do you really see him a presidential material?

Whatever Hillary's contribution liabilities,
she does come across as more qualified, doesn't she?

Be Afraid.

Hill has baggage that Bernie does not have.

My biggest fear is that America will have to choose between 2 candidates under indictment.

Be really afraid...

Almost no one has voted yet. No, really -- almost no one has voted.

After Saturday, 4% of all Democratic delegates -- the voted-upon ones, at least -- have been decided. Ninety-six percent of the primary season still lies ahead of us.

I'm sorry, I don't think Her Royal Hillaryness has anywhere near that amount. Why don't you clarify that for me?

But if you want me to say the Democratic Convention hasn't taken place yet, I confirm.

...fascinating.

This will go all the way to the convention, and is FAR FROM OVER. There are still 1981 regular delegates to be decided.

I sincerely would NOT count my delegates until all the ballots have been cast.

Trump's been there all along to give it to Clinton, if he can't have it for himself.

Sad that so many DUers don't see this.
