47. Dead wrong on Hillary and wrong on Pelosi too.

Nov 2018

When all we're given as a reason is slander and negative adjectives, then that's a big tell as to where this bias comes from & who.

All I hear are the same social media & MSM circulated negative scripts from 2016.

You'll have to do much better to convince a Pelosi realist that she is any of those negative descriptive things she is identified as.

I have followed her for years. Applauded her & booed her, yet never have I been shown any reason for anyone other than the Republicans & Koch Libertarians to run a smear campaign full of negative adjectives to unseat her.

Thank you
