I think the top three are really all doing well without being assholes. LOVE IT. bettyellen Oct 2015 #153

Sure, Eko Oct 2015 #189

I think that remains to be seen. Presidents aren't dictators, so what you can get done is at least bettyellen Oct 2015 #192

I agree. Eko Oct 2015 #197

I heard Eko Oct 2015 #198

Yep- the middle class was a big buzzword tonight. I noticed that too! bettyellen Oct 2015 #199
