I will point this out....there are literally hundreds of ‘professions’ which are getting picked up by this Trump-economy.

The one profession that appears stalled and unable to hook onto the economy? Journalists.

It’s an odd topic and we could probably sit for an hour discussing how this one profession is unable to fit into the economy that is growing.

“...he thinks it’s a little heavy on politics.”

Still mentally-ill after all these decades.

Actually, I think those 12 minutes are the commercials. :-)

Lewy body dementia (LBD) a disease associated with abnormal deposits of a protein called alpha-synuclein in the brain. It is the 2nd most common type of dementia.

We will likely not be hearing much from him in the very near future.

CNN went all in political when it promoted Ross Perot to help Clinton win.
There is much debate on this but did anyone notice how friendly the MSM was to Jeb Bush?
Same story, same message, different outcome.
