And that has got to suck for those who don't get it and criticize him just because. LOL!

3. Bingo.
After a while it becomes a lot harder to admire craftiness and guile.

14. As if having to get something productive out of unrelenting, UNIFIED opposition is a game.
I think a lot of people here have an overly simplistic view of what it would take to make any sort of progress in that corrupt, bought-and-paid-for town.

This isn't the movies.

12. He's too smart for most. People just want to complain even when it works out in our favor.

19. Pawns are quite valuable in chess even though many assume they are powerless.

16. yes he is!
And has been. I don't consider it frivilous games. Its the way our government has come to work. If he didn't play their games we would get no where. It shows his intellect and planning. I'm glad he is smart enough to do it. Now we just need him to sing our song.

18. Would you be interested in explaining the game?
I have read about the deal and listened to Rachel explain it last night. I honestly don't see what the game is. So rather then tell me it "sucks" for me, perhaps you would be kind enough to explain what you mean by your OP. Thanks.

22. Chess!!!!
A game where The Pawns are sacrificed to protect The Royalty.
By gawd, he IS playing Chess!!!

It only sucks if you are a Working Class Pawn (lower 98%).



Who will STAND and FIGHT for THIS American Majority?
Lofty Rhetoric, Broken Promises, and Whiny Excuses mean NOTHING now.
"By their WORKS you will know them,"
and by their WORKS they will be judged.
