though I would expect the press to ask actual, hard policy questions, from all the clowns running for the WH, including her. These were the whiffle balls that do not belong in a working democracy. That said, to worry, two of the candidates sent their balls down a foul line even with these whiffle balls.

That said, I would like it if they should ask about trade, when the answer is not good enough, a follow up is in order. And that was the closest to a nerf ball today.

He has to because he has next to zero name recognition. LOLZ KittyWampus May 2015 #6
