Personally, this dick has pissed me off several times in the past and I don’t trust him as far as I could chunk a cow patty, but this is pure brilliance on his part, politically speaking. He needed to differentiate himself to KBH and this will do it. He will win, in a landslide, and his words may even make Obama a bit nervous.
