"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

and if they were not total pos's, they'd ADMIT that and get behind one or the other of the front runners and save the US. Gowdy's still got something up his sleeve for Hilary. He's waiting to pull it out for when it RUINS her and it's too late for any other Dem to win it.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

If he had something he would have pulled it out already. Because that last hearing only helped her campaign and made the conservatives on that committee look foolish.

I think it's still way too early and the GOP field is known (judging with what happened when Romney was running last time) to FLIP on front-runners and pick other candidates who are hot that particular week.

Once we get closer to voting in the primaries, then the leadership board will "officially" matter. Those are like the Playoffs and similar to the NBA, nobody gives a fvck until the Playoffs start lol.

wrong, gowdy's waiting until it will REALLY mess her up and the Dems have wasted billions on her. Then it will be too late and the Repubs win big time, as we damned well MUST, or the US is history.

Wishful thinking, but think this if you must. I may dislike Hillary, but I dont underestimate her ability to cover her political tracks.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

she's overstepped herself this time. What she did was a felony and everyone knows it.

So was a bunch of stuff the Bush administration did, and he beat Kerry quite handily.
If Clinton loses, it's mostly because she's just not likeable. Nobody really cares about the law.

Hillary's already got HALF of the superdelegates in the bag and the primaries haven't even started yet.

Hillary's still the favorite at 5/6 (as of Nov 20)
Rubio is 9/2
Trump is 8-1

Hillary is the 1-10 favorite (bet ten and if you win you get back 11) to win the democratic primary.
Rubio (6/4) is ahead of trump (15/4)

Doesn't matter who wins. WWIII is coming.
