And he said, "What have you got to lose?"I was writing my novel Two Inches then, but I stopped because I watched him campaign.Wait, wait, wait, I thought. You have all the money in the world, and the best speechwriters that money can hire, and that's the best you can come up with?What have you got to lose?The election is what you have to lose. So I tweeted to him, If you want to make your appeal universal, you have to transcend skin color, and I said, "No matter our race or skin color... we all bleed red."And he used it -without giving me credit.The quote was, "We all bleed red, and we all die broke."What could be cooler than a rich, white man telling you and me and everyone else on the planet that no matter your skin color, you can't cheat death? And no matter how much money you have, we all die broke. And you ain't taking it with you to Heaven or Hell.Now that's Universal.He never said, "We all die broke," but he did use "We all bleed red."When I called him on it, he tried to change it to We all bleed the same red, white, and blue blood of the American patriots...I don't even know what the hell that means.People say, Rath, you were not the first to say, "We all bleed red."It's an old saying that has been said many times by many people throughout history.Who???I never heard it before, but everyone discredited my claim as soon as I said it.There was a movie called An Officer and a Gentleman, and at the end, Lou Gosset hit that punk bitch Richard Gere in the mouth, and after he did, he bled, and Louie Gosset, as Sgt Foley said, "Your blood is as red as mine, ain't it (Mayo).I think that's where the confusion comes from -that movie quote.But If that quote was in a movie or book before I tweeted Donald Trump, I never heard of it.And I have many other original quotes that other people try to take credit for.I also told Eisner when he was still CEO of Disney when Euro-Disney was failing to build a Disney Land in Hawaii.Everybody would go to that.Two weeks is too long for most vacations; after a week, you're ready to come home, and Hawaii, as beautiful as it is, gets boring and expensive.A Disney in Hawaii would give the family another week to do something while they're there. And unlike Europe, everybody would go to a Disney in Hawaii.It's rumored through the grapevine that they're building one now, but I'm still waiting on my check.Love Me Or Hate Me, I am ORIGINAL!!!-Rathview less
