12. LOL - seriously though, he's going Ray-gun on us.
I was listening to him on Monday, and he couldn't keep a straight thought. He switched, mid-sentence/story 4 times, and never went back to finish up where he started or anywhere in between. I was so confused when he was done, you could have told me the sky was falling and I probably would have looked.

3. Especially in that Thorazine voice, with the gritted teeth. He's a mess.

5. It's actually "My Frennnzzz" spoken with teeth clenched tightly.
It's always followed by a punchline of bad news, something like "those jobs aren't coming back".

13. What's worse is hearing him dredge up, unprompted, his fighter jet stories
That was 30+ years ago. He needs to move on.

14. He's still fighting the Viet Nam War
I think that's why he's so gung ho on bombing Iran. He has some unresolved issues.

16. Without massive quantities of caffeine there is a good risk of slipping into a coma
while he speechifies. If he, god forbid, were to win, the government ought to hand out free vats of espresso to the public ahead of his speeches.

17. Who Needs Ambien?
Ask your doctor about new Myfreenz, the miracle sleep aid.

Warning: side effects include waterboarding, long-term occupation of sovereign nations, and overmastering desire to hug persons of fascist inclination. If your campaign lasts longer than 4 months, make an appointment to see your doctor...they should be able to fit you in by November.
