Recall.. It’s 3 a.m. Who do you want answering the phone?

Sep 30, 2016 6:44AM PDT
It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep
But there’s a phone in the White House and it’s ringing
Something’s happening in the world
Your vote will decide who answers that call
Whether it’s someone who already knows the world’s leaders, knows the military — someone tested and ready to lead in a dangerous world
It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep
Who do you want answering the phone?

That, of course, is the script from Hillary Clinton’s now famous (or infamous) “3 a.m.” television ad that ran in Texas just ahead of the March 4 primary. At the end of the ad, Clinton answers the phone.


Donald Trump goes on 3 a.m. tweetstorm to attack former Miss Universe Alicia Machado: “Check out [her] sex tape”

Would TheRUMP be too busy to answer the phone?

You will discover YOU are not the reason to be here, nor the only person I reply to. I help others here. Can you say that?

respond to my posts because for the most part he agrees with me and doesn't feel the need to.

You complain that he isn't here often enough? I told you before, there's probably no more than ten people left here in SE, and that includes the Moderators. What a shame, considering this used to be a very robust forum with many members here on a regular basis. I admit, it would be nice to have someone other than a Canadian with an unrealistic view of MY country to talk to.....even if they had different opinions from my own. I'm just grateful that you don't have a say so here in the USA so mostly you are an amusement rather than someone I take seriously. YOU keep ME less bored.......
