From Wonkette.com:
".. WHERE TO BEGIN: Hillary Clinton's pick to win horse racing's Kentucky Derby, Eight Belles — the only female horse in the race — finished second, broke both front ankles, and subsequently was put to death on the track. The first place horse was 'Big Brown.' Go nuts."

This is only a test. If this had been an actual Hillary metaphor, Eight Belles, after breaking both ankles and being euthanized, would've gotten up again and started stumbling around the track some more."

This analogy doesn't work, because Barry's horse is a unicorn named Dreamsicle, and Walnuts bet the ranch on a charioteer named Spartacus. "

Right on the ground
Let's shift the focus to lapels"
