Those who are to your left are just as practical as you are and work as hard in the real world as you do.

Are you comparing President Bill Clinton to donald trump in your last paragraph? George II Apr 2017 #65
My point is that his active presence in the race gave the Trump campaign the CHANCE Ken Burch Apr 2017 #69
