To Cuba

On script

Cuba is a nice diversion away from Obama’s ever growing list of crimes and the stolen 2016 elections. Stolen elections is pretty much what most Americans have become so accustomed to witnessing… and yes this time most of us (including myself) will be voting largely out of anger, including if one truly studies the issues and backgrounds there is only one candidate running who is worth voting for.
The only way to “beat Trump”… is to cheat Trump. And that is fully what iv’e been witnessing and expect to see. Despite all the voter intimidation, threats of rape and murder, and constant attempts by the media at character assassination…. basically slander and Libel…. Trump will continue to pack out stadiums with lines around the block.
In case anyone hasn’t figured it out yet…. Americans are no longer going to tolerate our money being stolen without our consent to finance rapefugee Jihadi’s and Communist games. Were tired of being lectured by wanna be intellectual Leftist SJW’s about our “privilege” and all the other garbage these Soros fueled Lunatics spout which is total BS. And we are no longer going to stand idly by while our country is raped and pillaged by scum.
