both loud, rude and bombastic. But one is from NY, the other from Jersey. The republican idea of diversity.

Trump/Gingrich, with six marriages between them. The evangelicals will hold their noses while voting.

I thought he was going to pick a stable person to offset his lunacy.

He should pick Romney. That would be fun to watch.

And so is Trump. So it is win-win for us!
