Stick with me Mr. Speaker. It’s a set of tubes and information goes through it and reaches potential voters.

There’s something very important I forgot to tell you! Don’t cross the streams… It would be bad… Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

That? No, that web site is based on 1990s technology. We are trying for at least 2010.

I used to play ball with Barack at the East Bank Club. Always passed him the ball right where he wanted it, to his left. Dude always went left, couldn’t go right to save his life. He also never passed the ball. I’d scream, “yo, Barack, pass the damn ball,” but he always shot it. Obama was a total chucker.

Yes sir, I know you have been Speaker longer than I have been alive, but things change in how you run campaigns every few decades.

Mike, I’m ready to take my shot, just throw me the ball! No, really, throw me the ball. Can I have the ball please? I’m ready. Ball-hog.

Comment by Earnest Wednesday, Jul 11, 18 @ 4:11 pm
Well Mike, with your approval rating hovering somewhere in the low 20s, it’s going to be a heavy lift. But when you add in Rahm’s numbers plus J.B.’s numbers so far, wow, we’re talking really heavy lift. Like Falcon Heavy kind of lifting, you feel me?
