He asked for a do-over, after messing up his first attempt. It was pointed out that his final four choices were impossible, given the brackets.

You're kidding, right?

The NEWS is often what is NOT said and what is NOT being done. i.e. all the un-picked cabinet “team” members. That’s what should be infuriating the public...and they should care.

Didn’t he just pick all the number 1 seeds? Oh wait, he picked a number 2 in Memphis, living on the edge!

That’s funny, I don’t have time to watch college basketball and I’m not the president.

I wonder if his hoops picks will be any better than his cabinet picks. After all, they couldnt get much worse.

and when one of his picks loses, he’ll organize a press conference to announce “I am deeply disappointed in their performance. That’s not the Louisville Men’s Basketball team I know.”

(not pickin on Louisville, just an example!)
