...in two years and you'll see I was right all along. Time will prove me correct. She will not be our party's nominee. Period. We can do better with someone who has broad national appeal rather than limited regional appeal. Actually, my characterisations don't "make it so" ... it doesn't *make* anything so. I'm just telling it like it is. You don't need to believe me now, but time will tell and you'll believe me later. Everything I've said is true, not dismissive... true.
