[AGL] life is so much fun dept.

[Frances Morey]

No matter what they say on the campaign trail it pales in relation to what
they manage to do once in office.
Presidential campaigns are like a battle of the titans. I love watching it
unfold.
I hope Trump doesn't bowl over the 20 some odd Democrats the way he did all
his Republican hopefuls.
Best regards,
Frances
