[AGL] life is so much fun dept.

You are right. The left or right or the Eisenstadts will tear him to
shreds. His record in EP as a teenager is not squeaky clean. Trump gets
away with being a criminal and a freak of nature but no dimocrat will.
Biden voted wrong and Bernie won't make the grade. Trump is a pariah and it
seems that his base will intimidate their way back. The Republicans are bad
news and the ademocrats aren't much better.
