1. I listened to that live

and there's no way I could allow myself to vote for a TPer for any office, mostly he whined and his answers to all questions were reminiscent of whiner drumpf. Bullock is pretty good, not stellar, but good... I'll vote for him again and I'm certainly voting for Juneau for Congress.
