2020 Presidential primaries Every Democrat wants to be president. No one wants to be elected senator or governor. Those who have been still appear to want to be in the White House.

I've been waiting for a girl president since … since … since kindergarten!

2020 Presidential primaries Mr McConnell has the skills to stop a Japanese bullet train.

Democrats Twitter is not America. In most of America, all they want, is to vote for someone who is not weird. Play to them and stop worrying that you're going to lose social justice warriors to Donald Trump. Bill Maher, Real Time with Bill Mahar, Oct. 25, 2019 © 2019 Kwiple.com

Plans with enough information that anyone could see the costs, the trade-offs, and the values that they embodied.
