He may not be Reagan, but the man certainly knows how to work a crowd. Also, he could debate his competitors with just an eyebrow.

Well, everyone keeps saying we should get rid of our current ‘crop’ of politicians and elect some real Americans who will do the job right.

Or we could keep electing people like Al Franken.

If Triple H ran, he could be substituted for Humbert Horatio Humphreys as the “politician with the most Hs”.
