I wonder if living in NH and being so close to MA and it's influence hasn't taken it's toll.

He once said that he likes to listen to NPR.

That stuff will rot your brain.

Why is this a big deal? There are not 1 out of 50 people who ever heard of O’Rourke. Don’t believe me? Ask anyone out on the street you run into (who you at least have a passing acquaintance with).

No election was ever won, lost or affected by an endorsement or lack thereof.

Pretty much. A “ conservative” backing Clinton was never a Conservative in the first place. The phonies are being exposed.

“His daughter told my daughter that he had tried to call me, and I didn’t get the message. So, I simply called him back,” Clinton explained. “And I don’t know whether he had ever intended to discuss this with me or not, and this has happened to you before, I bet, I think by the time I got him back, he had forgotten why he called me in the first place, probably.”
And I don

“I am endorsing Hillary, and all her lies and all her empty promises,” -PJ O’Rourke’s endorsement of Clinton.

Somehow I don’t believe Clinton will be using this endorsement to any great effect.

Yes, the faux "conservatives" are exposing themselves.

Trump donated cash to liberals in the past, therefore he cannot be a conservative. So, to express disgust at Trump, who gave money to dems, the faux "principled conservative" must vote for Hildabeast.

What contorted and twisted "logic' is that.

You all should probably read the whole article before going on. Remember P.J. is a humorist. He just isn’t endorsing Trump. His endorsement of Hillary well, She won’t be quoting him fully.

"....Mr. Trump is certainly separating the goats from the lambs...."

More like Trump separating the jackasses from the elephant herd.

Well, PJ, Samuel Adamas had folks like you pegged in 1776:

“If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”

PJ was never a Conservative, just a corporatist playing his little part in the globalist agenda.

The whole R/D thing is a scam to keep the little indians fighting amongst ourselves while they've been quietly erecting a world police state all around us. "Oh, look! The PJ puppet is telling some jokes, let's stare at that. Maybe he'll jingle some keys, too."
