I was a little surprised you didnt mention that starting in 1932, democrats had a plurality or a majority in seven of the next nine president ial campaigns. Yeah. Starting in 1968, republicans had a plurality or a majority in five of the next six president ial c...

And so cold. Meanwhile jeff bezos is at amazon selling 7 million worth of his shares.
