| 18. The break in reality. |
|
Some folks are not very thrilled with this President but will vote for him because there is no one else. And some are very thrilled with this President and cant wait to vote for him. Why is there this break in reality? Who is out of touch? Can someone explain how one supporter could see the President's "achievements" so differently from another supporter??
|
| -I'm not thrilled with the President's first term, but who's going to primary him? |
