Can that stupid Jeb Bush spout any worse Jebberish than this? Can stupid Jeb make me hate him any more?

Honest to God, I will vote for Hillary if that stupid bastard gets the nomination.

He’s a globalist elite. Most politicians are. The One World Government is their goal. One step at a time.

those tech companies may well be employing enemies of the US - many are known for their anti-American rhetoric.
