My favorite! Has been for a long time because I admire the work he is doing in Congress
Maybe they can get the Country moving again.

Though I was amazed that his parents like Trump! Poor guy!

She said she would vote for him if none of his Brothers ran.
You would think she would be bursting with pride to have an honest, brilliant, well Educated, caring Son.

Good for him for being with the Parkland kids and making ending gun violence a top issue.
