Tweety didn't let him get away with not answering it directly, either. Ultimately, a good answer. He wouldn't have pushed for ouster at that time, without knowing more. Which was my beef with the whole thing. They didn't even call the complainants, get their testimony by affidavit or under oath verbally. Nothing. And what was complained of weren't crimes.

He is just superb, a great combo of native intelligence, political instincts, charisma, and an air of reassurance that he can do this.



He does have some pinchable cheeks, lol

as pinchable as Trump's mug is punchable

The only way they would lose is with direct interference with the voting machines... I just can't believe that with their pro-consumer, pro-worker platforms they wouldn't be the clear choice of voters who count their dollars and who work for a living.
