Rick, don’t turn your back when you leave.

“I’m not sure I like this concept. It sounds like it would make it harder to control the masses.”.“Don’t worry about it sir. We have politicians in America who can say anything and still have a following.”

Are journalists actually expected to be told something “off the record” and not to print or talk about it?

“The Press is free – the lawyer isn’t!”

you mean the entire Republican Party. And of course the right wing MSM, who went crazy over Obama not attending Mrs Reagan’s funeral, and who went crazy just this week over Obama not stopping his trips to Cuba and SA because of the terror attack in Brussels and now, seriously, the 2 biggest GOP candidates for president are a Fascist Billionaire and a religious fanatic who is absolutely hated by everyone who knows him. I mean the 17 you started with were all minor league, but the 3 left have just 1, the current Gov of Ohio who, while a very serious far right conservative, remains the only one who could possibly be counted as a serious candidate.

Boy! Some people will blather-stump at any opportunity.

" yet some people still thought he was a great man and president."

.And we all know I loved RWR.Selective hearing?What’d you say?

Ezra Benson forgot that one, too. You gotta say ‘off the record’ first, then tell your joke.

Better send that literature to Trump, too.
