80. Chicken is eggless
Tue Nov 10, 2015, 02:42 PM
Nov 2015

Everyone is counting their chickens before the hen has laid its egg.
You're all setting yourselves up for some pretty big disappointment.
I will suggest to your right now that Clinton will not be the nominee. I know, that flies in the face of every poll, but this far out last time it appeared Clinton was a shoe in. What happened to those eggs?
I suggest you all sit back down and take a good look around. A lot can change between now and the convention.
