Not at all convinced it will break through to the Krystal Balls and hardcore folks she's sending that message to.

Someday they need to explain to me what’s so horribly wrong with Joe and Hillary and so on and use actual facts , they need to list the top 100 agenda items facing the society or the human race and show me how the Democratic leaders are wrong on more than three or four of them because they aren’t.

Because the Republicans are wrong on all 100
