20. I'm not leaving

Thu Dec 7, 2017, 01:28 PM

Dec 2017

I think we are going to pick someone the Democratic Party is going to HATE in 7th district this time. He won't quite fit the 'image' - but I'm for it.

Don't care if we lose to Lance again! He votes our interests anyways (our Indivisible and Action Groups have him terrified).

I think I feel bad for the leadership - I don't think they realize they just told the voters in Minnesota that THEY will be the deciders of who their representatives are.

I think Booker is next - too many rumors of him smoking pot with college age kids and video of him doing it.
