And I, for one, am completely relieved to learn about this "fix" thing. And on top of that, to find out that the fix has been in place for YEARS.

I mean, seriously, WHO KNEW? How could I not have known this before now? I wish I'd known sooner.

All this time I've been worrying over nothing! And it's not because I lacked any confidence in DWS. I mean, she really IS a powerhouse. It just never occurred to me that it could actually be done!

I think I'm more amazed than anything. You've got to hand it to her! Well done, Debbie! Well done!

With regard to the celeb endorsement influencing undecided voters, that is. But it's still a great deal of fun for the people who ALREADY support the candidate. (But, I guess the level of fun depends on how well-known the celeb actually is. And that could be a generational thing too.)

Because all the elected officials for Hillary certainly get threads here and they should she's got lots of them and that's one of her strengths. But the thing is when you do post every last endorsement breathlessly you should expect the other side to do the same.
