You seem to forget that she has been attacked by experts from day one and she is still standing. Trump has a big mouth and a very small intellect.

So the two parties sets the rules for the primaries at tax payers expense.
The problem Rajoo is that Each Party in Each State sets the rules. As for taxation during the five years after Florence and I were married I paid a hell of a lot of taxes and did not even get to vote. Then they Sanforized me.

I never gripe about footing the bill for schools even though we are childless by choice. It's the soshalist thing to do.
