Well, we know who the Democrats will be running in 2020 now.

With a resume enhancer like this, she’s sure to get Hillary Clinton’s endorsement.

Sounds a lot like the Clinton Foundation, except you'd have to change "thousands" to "millions".

MEDIA HANDIWORK WHY FOX NEWS SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED
There was an earlier posting about this but neither pointed out that she ran in part of black conservative
Col Wests Florida’s old 5th district. Which was redistricted with the approval of Florida Republicans into the black majority 6th.
