5. I'm Just Hoping That Kamala Provided Lawmakers & Journalists With The Courage To.....

go after Tr**p and treat him the way she did in last nights debate.

and not just call him what he is - an ignorant, racist misogynistic unprepared liar who mostly wings it.

9. Turns out the best man for the job...
