48. Yes, Undigfified but Effective

Thu May 2, 2019, 12:37 PM

May 2019

I agree that it is undignified. But it is using the drama with a touch of popular culture will show the voters that Democrats have the backbone to stand up to Trump and his minions. I think your male voter will love this. Behaving like cowed battered wives or offended effite intellectuals with wordy letters has gotten no respect from your average person who is looking for some stand up leadership.
