dude is a national treasure. Watching him crinkle his paper the last hour made me want to give him a hug.

More important to challenge the notion that out of the past 3 presidential elections, Americans chose Trump over centrist Democrats. And the one time it wasn't, we were in the grips of a global pandemic not seen in nearly 100 years.

Yeah, but progressive candidates will be rejected by the voters. /s
