    That strategy doesn’t have a history of success and hopefully holds true this time.
    The thought of listening to that shrieking voice for at least four years is motivation enough for me to do all I can to see she loses.

  4. Now now, we cannot hold people liable for the sins of their Fathers (as it were). She is a lying liar who lies and THAT is squarely on her. chelsea handler I can’t help you with, I wouldn’t recognize the name had I not seen it here in these pages.
