20. Best line I've read all day.

If you're wondering whether you should support a trade deal that all the Republicans support, you're an idiot. They're awfully quiet about that. I've seen one or two use the line "if you automatically dismiss something Republicans are for, you're just having a knee-jerk reaction". Reply: "oh yeah? Then give me a single example of a Republican initiative you've supported in the last 6 years". And that's how the conversation ends.
