As you know.

And what I know is this is going to keep going around in circles and you're never going to give a straight response. So I'm done.

But I'll tell you what. This thread has been really enlightening. I honestly had no idea how attached some folks are to these TV people.

To the point where they can't even be criticized at all! Even if they're attacking the Democratic nominee.

It's really something.

She is right. But Biden was trying to appeal to a certain type . Why refer to her as "rich lady" ? JI7 Sep 2020 #2
