Moochell 0.
She can fill DiFi’s wheel chair, but my be too young for the senate.
Gavin will pick whoever has the most bucks for him.
Marxine Waters!
I don’t think so. Wouldn’t Newsom do worse against Trump than Biden?
Her replacement can be found smeared on the hot sidewalks of San Freako.
Maxine Waters!
