That was another of the things that Cohn tried to use as an example of what people will do with this incredible windfall.

I'm surprised he didn't get laughed out of the room.

Have fun with your "new" car!
Cohn is a moron. How he got through college is a complete mystery. Easier to figure out what was before the big bang than to figure out how he succeeded academically.

So he can be "bi-partisan" with the establishment, in order to get the big tax cuts.

Party label does not mean a lot to these people. It is only a means to an end.

As I've been told, you have to have $500 in your pocket and a hotel/proof that you have somewhere to stay in order to be allowed out of the airport.

$1,000 will replace the range and if I can get 20 or 30 of you to donate your tax savings to me, I can do the rest.
