around Trump. Independents and non-voters love that stuff.

This Brooklyn dude can kick ass with comebacks, humor and irony in ways this shit-for-brains impeached imposter can't even fathom.

My greatest priority is to win the Senate, and we need to keep as many of our candidate senators as possible. Unless we win at least half our battlegrounds. Just sayin'.

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

No it hasn't ...the question has been why doesn't the 'democratic' wing of the party appeal to more Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #26
