This is priceless. This is what they wanted for all of us. I hope some get stuck, or go hungry, or have to sleep on a bench. LOL! Assholes.

About not writing a concession speech. I figured he was bluffing. Who knew?

Based on the anecdotal info about the behind the scenes at the campaign - the Game Change, Version 2, should be GREAT.
