This fool "advisor" needs their pie hole stuffed shut. Nothing good comes from this sort of asinine advice.

Oh, and just so you know, despite my pep talk here, I'm deeply pissed off by this stupid person attempting to deflate sails in a state the GOP currently has to spend money to defend. It's just stupid on all fronts. They should be fired.
