    They won’t answer a single question with the truth or follow the law.

    “They lie and continue to lie, as if to say we’re POWERFUL enough to lie, and get away with it”.

    It’s a war of attrition. They are winning overtime, at a rapid pace.

    Although I don’t agree with his politics, James Carville is one of the greatest pundits of our time. I could laugh just listening to his one liners and his over the top reactions to his opponents. I hope he never changes and love listening. Thank you !
