So he can make the heel even more than they al ready do? The Fouth Estate is a joke! It takes writers other than the MSM to dig out any stories of interest . . . MSM should have walked out on him! Watch him blow a gasket! Everyone needs to stop obeying his commands! Bravo to the Hamilton Cast! We should be purchasing Starbucks drinks under the name Clinton! The idea that we go along to get along to give him a chance - I call bullish!t on that as when the GOP said day one that they would block anything Obama tried to do, called him a liar in the state of the union address and trashed his family . . . No more play nice - this war and has been since 2000! Time to fight . . . We can't afford to loose!
