37. His massive trust fund will parachute him down softly
Wed Feb 3, 2016, 02:30 PM
Feb 2016

I still can't believe he is not going to win the nomination. I'm hoping it is because of his war criminal brother and how he screwed everything up in this country. But, he is a horrid candidate himself. He actually said anyone who believes we are better off now than before President Obama is living in an alternate reality!

Peace
