Did you read the whole article?
When he said that, he was repeating what his "fellow liberal" friends have BEEN saying... since the beginning. Now, he's not so sure.
Yes, they want their base angry and ready to bust heads, for some reason.
Thanks
Like I said. You can’t read.
Fwiw, I read your article that was posted and thought you did a good job
“Why do you think he attempted to be fair?”
Good question.
