Wow.
What's "wow" is that you've TOTALLY missed the point of why he raised that point.

So, 90% certain it will be a Trump vs Clinton contest...
Goodnight, Donald...

Too early to predict Clinton beating Trump. She should do it, but Trump's support has been continually growing.

Trump falls away in latest Forbes billionaire list.
Donald Trump may be the Republican front runner for the White House, but he is slipping behind in the world billionaires race, Forbes magazine's new list of the planet's richest people shows.
Mr Trump, who has made his enormous wealth a key selling point in his presidential bid, came in 324th in the magazine's 2016 ranking of the world's billionaires.
That means that more than 200 billionaires have jumped ahead of the ever-competitive real-estate mogul since 2015 when he placed 121st on the annual list.
The magazine put Trump's net worth at an above-average $4.5bn (€4.1bn), the same as last year but about half the $10bn (€9.2bn) fortune candidate Mr Trump often claims to have amassed.

I so wish I were as sure of that as you seem to be, jim... Logic says the trummpster can't beat the hilly, but logic has nothing to do with the Merkin voter... Young democrats who got fired about Bernie may not vote for her, while he seems to be able to rouse people who usually don't vote... it's a fracking muddle down there.

Hillary has better credentials for the Office than anyone in my lifetime.
It's going to be an easy call for most Americans.

But you've got optional voting, so it doesn't actually matter what most Mercans think. What matters is those who vote.

Wow.
What's "wow" is that you've TOTALLY missed the point of why he raised that point.
I don't think I did, but if you care to set forth the point that you believe I TOTALLY missed, I might wind up agreeing with you.

Not butt-hurt. I love Donald Trump jokes, and I don't support the guy. I just wish it was Jon Steward doing the skewering, since he would actually be able to present effective satire.
