Not a good look IMO.
I seriously doubt those in the wine cave were billionaires anyway, but even if they were... good!

Give me your billionaires, and millionaires and all your airs. I want all the money for Democrats.

Money only corrupts the corruptible. None of our top candidates are in that category.

BEAT TRUMP

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
