9. Her Actual Quote
Thu Mar 15, 2018, 10:37 AM
Mar 2018

Her actual quote does not seem as bad as what was discussed in the media. I watched a little bit of Egberto Willie yesterday and he gave the main quote. It seemed like she was talking about the economic direction of the states and not the people of the state. She may have mentioned something about the way people thought, but it seemed like the main point was that Trump supporters want to take the country backwards economically. His supporters wanted to stick with oil and gas; her supporters wanted to move forward to renewable energy.

Of course. Without question. Truth to power. Nt Ninga Mar 2018 #1
