He can say more or less the same things lots of ways. He chooses to be a jerk. QED.

Except that his contract says they’re part of his job as an New England Patriots employee, and he’s obligated to participate in NFL publicity. So how he does it is a valid reflection of his character, methinks. Whether he genuinely despises the process, or he’s doing it to amuse himself in a waste of his time, or he…

If Trump loses, he doesn’t have any more power than any previous GOP loser since Nixon. I can’t see him winning the NY Senate seat in 2018. He’s got too much ego to run for the House. He can’t maintain his own interest til 2020 to run for President again.

Nah, that was a classic heel turn. Everyone knew what each beat wold be, but Trump and Cruz improvised the dialog to make sure it felt fresh.

Need a death match between Nightmare Ant and the Billikin.

Bernie doesn’t have any objections at all to spending money on safety.

If you don’t see it, you don’t hang out with my relatives.

“It was okay because the guy’s ex-neighbors helped.”

Isn’t that sandwich called a Buffalonian?

Say what you will about shamanism, at least it’s an ethos.

But this previously negotiated agreement is inconvenient to business, therefore it is void.

I ran into the side of a bridge. It worked out that the underside of the car caught on a high curb like a fighter jet on an aircraft carrier and did thousands of dollars in damage without scratching the paint. I’ve often wondered whether falling eight feet and drowning upside down in four feet of water would have…
