97. When has he ever been helpful?

Sun Nov 4, 2018, 01:14 AM

Nov 2018

He supported Nader in 2000 which brought us W. He was very lukewarm on Kerry and Obama. In 2016 he talked a lot about holding his nose to vote for Hillary after spending the primary season bashing her. The fact is, Trump is good for Moore Inc. What he's been saying is actually not meant to motivate, it's WISHFUL THINKING.

He wants us to lose.
