(800 posts)11. Both conventions..
are going to be pander-theater calibrated to reach the 95% of people who don't think very much.
Lord Magus
(1,999 posts)15. How does this clown keep getting reelected?
He's an insane wingnut who runs as a Democrat, he should easily be getting bounced in the primary.
