| #7 Every four years we get to roll out the work presumptive. In this case it is presumptuous. He doesn't even have the nomination clinched yet! The more articles we see like this, the more we will know Hillary has not lost control of the press. |

| #6 Er, ah, er, don't you have to have the election first? Seems like the voters have something to say about who's going to be the Grand Poopah. |

| #5 This sort of verbalization sounds more than a little grandiose. Showmanship. If you look at it in the grand tradition of P.T. Barnum, or old style evangelists, or say, Muhammed Ali, it becomes understandable. Repulsive, but understandable. |

| #2 "This is the moment . . . that the world is waiting for," adding: "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions." Too rich! He's NOW beginning to believe his own kak! Keep talking you bugger, keep talking. |

| #1 "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions." Any psychological clinicians in the house? This sort of verbalization sounds more than a little grandiose. |
