One more thing
And one more thing:
Quisquis huc accedes
Quod tibi horrendum videtur
Mihi amoenum est
Si dilectat maneas
Si taedat abeas
Utrumque gratumYou who come here
Whoever you are
What may seem horrible to you
Is fine for me
If you like it stay
If it bores you go
I couldn’t care less.

Hope springs eternal. . .
. . . that after the Wisconsin primary the New York tabloid headline will be
Wisconsin to Trump: You're Fired
The downside of that is that the state that gave us Joe McCarthy will advance the presidential candidacy of Ted Cruz, McCarthy's think-alike, look-alike.
