I don't buy that at all. Getting 65 women from 30-some years ago to sigh on to that letter in 3 days brush Sep 2018 #25
#27. A list already existed, & likely a ltr. just in case. Mitch knew appalachiablue Sep 2018 #30
You're agreeing with me, right, that the repugs had the letter ready in case the Dems found out... brush Sep 2018 #31

So if 65 females all wrote nice things about Charles Manson, that would prove....??? n/t dixiegrrrrl Sep 2018 #40
No, no, I'm thinking that the tactic simply gives R's a new pivot-point. VOX Sep 2018 #41

Not necessarily paid. They're all from the same social strata - the same club. haele Sep 2018 #29
How telling that they felt the need to be prepared to do this. Garrett78 Sep 2018 #8
