I actually do sail. And if you cant make it out of the harbor, well I hope you invested in some emergency equipement. If they were capt, I'd be swimming for shore. And if I was stuck on a boat with these people I'd be overboard even if I was 500 miles offshore.

Nice try fellas, but now it's time to start campaigning for re-election. If you stay in office, you can try again in January 2017.

At some point on this Republican ship of state, Wilson will fall overboard and float away. But instead of crying out "Wilson! Wilson!", the Republicans will shrug. "Good riddance. He was dividing us."
