Mostly too kitschy for me. Like Barry Manilow and Madonna, their little tunes didn’t age well.

Either his campaign paid the proper royalties or they didn’t, if they did the these old hacks need to STFU if Trumps staff did not, then the staffer that failed to understand the campaigns legal obligations needs to be fired and someone WHO DOES understand needs to be hired. Simple

They can complain all they want. We’ll just play it louder and longer.
