33. Let's talk about that "will of the voters" argument, shall we?

That's a non-starter for me.

Suppose our beloved Joe, whom I really admire and respect, would have had a stroke on stage. Would we have still been bound by the "will of the voters"?

I am 100% confident that Adam Schiff wants what's best for the Democratic Party and for the future of this country. It doesn't help us to try to hurt him.
