That's just not true. Seriously. I know several people who fall into that category. Many of them didn't vote for Trump in 2016. Some don't even - pmb Nov 6, 12:36 9
- This is what I'm saying, and if we lose with Warren, those people are to thank/blame. Selfishness -- nm - JackDawson Nov 6, 12:46 2
  - I mean, ok. But maybe we win with a different candidate. That's what we're discussing here. - pmb Nov 6, 12:50 1
