No one said...that. But when Trump is happy with an outcome...it makes me nervous. Demsrule86 Jun 2018 #63

Well, Trump might well tweet tomorrow that he likes Crowley. Cuthbert Allgood Jun 2018 #67

Cuz folks just have to refight the primaries. theaocp Jun 2018 #81

Whose refighting the primaries. You'd think she'd be honored to name the woman who she quoted. Wwcd Jun 2018 #93
