... anybody voted for that mobbed up (never heard too much about that / lots on the made up
Hillary email crap), mentally ill (just look @ his clownish make up) sexist women abusing (grap
'em by the pussy), failed businessman, reality TV star (he was never a billionaire and Russia was
helping to fund the Apprentice), racist (Hey boy let me see your papers aka birth certificate),
and bone stupid asshole in the first place in 2016.

But at the end of the day Russia stole it for him and a # of other republicans because enough
white women and other dumb asses voted for him to keep it close enough for Russia to steal.

BTW I think if we could ever see the real #s from 2016 Hillary blew his doors off.
