#1 I've seen so many people being considered I'm not going to speculate on anything until it is announced.

#6 Great, just as funny/stupid as Lurch but without the Ketchup and late boat tax jokes.

Funny you mentioned that - four years ago, I was at a tax seminar when Mass. Dept. of Revenue guys showed up to talk about state tax issues. Before they started, they took questions, so I dropped this one on them: "Did John Kerry pay sales tax on his yacht yet?"

DOR hack - 'Uh, we can't comment on individual tax matters'. It was fun to watch him squirm for a few seconds.

#7 Trump is having fun. The media is tying themselves up in knots.
Their arrogance is astounding. The furor because Trump wanted to go out for dinner and didn't care for them hanging around...

#10 The thing is, whatever Mr. Romney sets himself to do, he will do no less than his very best. That said, I vote for baseless speculation or trolling.

#11 I see this as Trump acting presidential and magnanimous. Romney seems a decent guy and competent administrator. Sure, we'd all like Attila the Hun, but the fact that Romney's name is in the mix makes Trump look normal and makes protests against him look even sillier.

As for Cynthia McKinney, I'd float a rumor about considering her for Sec. of Education.

#12 Attila for Sec Defense. Romney would be a great Sec State choice. LOL, that'll twist their panties! Bolton for UN.
