Hope it is soon.

They said it would be unsettling to the MAGAts. If I were to speculate, it could be something like him caught candidly going on and on about how he despises his followers and what total fools they are, laughing at those stupid jerks, those losers, etc.

Now, that would be better than shooting them all on 5th Ave, which he would do if he could.

Here's Ron Brownstein's tweet about it




which was retweeted bu John Weaver and Project Lincoln's George Conway.

Weaver also replied to Brownstein's tweet:





Trump won non-college-educated white women by at least 20 points in 2016.

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/05/trump-winnowing-down-his-base/611902/

If Biden's ahead with that group by double digits now, that's a 30-point swing.

hadn't started impeachment. They said it didn't matter if he wasn't convicted - they needed "to send a message " And when they did start, they said, "Meh." When they actually did impeach him, they criticized Democrats, saying they were weak because they didn't get a conviction

And now, just six months later, they never even mention impeachment. It's as if it never happened.

What in the hell was America thinking giving this kind of power to law enforcement agencies, and then only giving them minimal training. The power of life and death over Americans should not be given to police!

If I had to guess, I would say that Spanky raised much less than Joe's 81 million for May and might even have significantly narrowed, if not outright reversed, the on-hand cash gap between the two campaigns. We don't know Spanky's numbers yet, but John and Rick might, and this would definitely be unsettling to Spanky and the MAGATs.
