  • I would do that only if the other horse had no legs. And no head.

    That reminds me of a Monty Python movie. A guy in battle keeps losing appendages and finally all that is left of him is a torso with head and he is still combative! I'm not a fan but that scene was hilarious. Roy Moore was the crippled/hobbled/lame horse. It wasn't a secret. Folks bet on him anyway so when he lost they lost. They should have been more discerning. Too bad. How sad. I'm glad. Thank you for your reply Lady H!  :)

    Roy Moore was crippled/hobbled/defective. Folks bet on him anyway. He lost! They bet on the wrong horse so they lost. Thank you for your reply PC! :)
