It's only Jan 23 and I've already had enough political smoke blown up my ass to last me through the next 3 elections.
If there's one thing that can be banked on, it's that anything said in these speeches is a load of crap, filled with 'feel-good' verbiage that panders to their voting base.
How can someone "inspire the nation" one minute and then divide that nation almost immediately after walking off the stage?
How does someone promise to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States" and then systematically rip it apart and ignore the Bill of Rights? |

Spence, where I live is more American that you'd ever imagine. We actually value freedom here, free enterprise and individual rights. Its not a gimmick, its real. You're part of the country is turning back to the same place the pilgrims fled. |

In bold letters, thats just so the druggies and malcontents can get back to Fall River and New Bedford after they rob someone without having to steal a car. Because if your a chitty looking character the guy on the train wont bother asking you for a ticket. |

Nice down to earth people too. |
