...one a major heart issue.

Not a good look.

If I were to vote in a presidential

Then he should tell us NOW who his VP pick is, since that person may have to fill in not_the_one Feb 2020 #17

Sanders promised he would do something, and he just said he would not keep that promise. krissey Feb 2020 #67
If he breaks an EASY promise like this? What about his promises about M4A and student loans? CalFione Feb 2020 #41
