Leave it to lefties to immanentize the eschaton, time and again.

If we think Jeb spent a ton of money for being a loser just wait until his adopted sister-out-law bests him in the who can lose more multiple millions on the way to defeat category.

Read the whole article and it morphed into the legitimate reasons Hillary would pick those events over traditional campaigning. New York Slimes will never turn on her.

“...joined in a singalong.”

We’ve heard her speak. I’ll bet her singing voice is just glorious. Gah!
