I never did like Doritos. Original Fritos for me, stoned or sober. MineralMan Jun 2019 #84
Dude, you gotta use the scoops Fritos for dipping. Funtatlaguy Jun 2019 #86

I don't think there's only one person who can beat Trump- dawg day Jun 2019 #22
No Offense, but that isn't very blunt. bluewater Jun 2019 #23

Thanks for being forthright bluewater Jun 2019 #43
Yes he was caraher Jun 2019 #46

re: "Anyone the Republicans can hang a 'Socialist' sign on will not win. And that's a fact." thesquanderer Jun 2019 #42
The label did not stick to Obama. MineralMan Jun 2019 #45
I know a Republican who likes Biden who still thinks Obama is a socialist. thesquanderer Jun 2019 #48
Well, I don't worry much about what Republican voters think. MineralMan Jun 2019 #56
They're not going to call anyone a socialist. Mr.Bill Jun 2019 #68

re: "she lost in three states we had no business losing. I know why. You know why." thesquanderer Jun 2019 #38
There was much anti-Clinton and anti-Bush sentiment in 2016 MarcA Jun 2019 #82
True. There was specific "anti-dynasty" sentiment as well as general "anti-establishment" sentiment, thesquanderer Jun 2019 #85
Hillary lost because of the Russians. Full stop. stopbush Jun 2019 #50
