[PatsFan1283]

I can’t c&p it on my phone but Coulter latest article touches on this in the final few paragraphs.

Well realize it’s time do something about this about 4 minutes after Texas turns blue

I certainly would agree leadership in the areas cited has failed, but there are many layers to that onion. Simply flipping from a D to an R or vice versus would likely have a limited to no impact.

 

[Mr_Mark]

these are way too many truth facts for some people to acknowledge
