at a private residence, so it was a rather intimate gathering (do you know Christine Forester? She was a big bundler for Obama).

Anyway, my impression of him was that he's a fake, through and through. It's all a big act with him, it's clear to me that he's all talk. And this was around the time he voted in favor of Kushner to be ambassador to France.

And if the stories concerning the way Klobuchar treats her staff are true, then she's off my list as well.
