that was a WOW! ad. His arrogant, 'isn't it funny, because none of this crap would affect me'* attitude is beyond repugnant.

*He, and all the 1%ers, will be buying up property in Canada and Greenland, sucking up the little energy we have left with air conditioners, building bunkers, you get the drift. Rich jerks like him will not suffer.

Sorry, I am sure not all Republicans feel this way, however, a whole lot of them in Tampa obviously did.

As they say, shit just got real. Support Repubs, identify yourself as Repub, this is your package,
