49. He Was A Hero

Fri Aug 24, 2018, 11:58 PM

I think anyone who is republican is misguided but some are a little less misguided and way more honorable. He did stand up to Orange Creep and that puts him way up on toadies like Mitch McChinless and Ayn Rand devotee Paul Ryan.

And what that idiot said about him not being a hero because he was captured was unconscionable.

And anyone who voted for him, who thought he was of White House caliber, has something wrong with their thought process. He is an embarrassment to our Country, a disgrace.
