And Bloomberg is all the things that Filthy Donnie claims to be but really isn't. Squinch Feb 2020 #48
It will be. He is avoiding interviews right now but if he continues to saturate the Nanjeanne Feb 2020 #14

Let's hope, in our desperation, Doremus Feb 2020 #50
I'm wondering if Sanders is going to surge... SMC22307 Feb 2020 #52
