Vanity Isn’t Fair to the Voters

August 1, 2019

made my attempt to cull the crowd in yesterday’s post. From 10 down to 3 (Mayor Pete, Liz Warren and Bernie) was a decent start for me. Now we need to take a hard look at the other half of those that qualified for the ‘debate.’ It’s past time for the vanity candidates to help […]
