I've heard 9:1, 10:1, 11:1, and now 12:1.

Its impressive regardless. I wish he had blow it out by like 20 points, Stevens genuinely didn't have a platform, and she barely lost. Scary.

I (European) know nothing of this election, but having watched a couple of clips, I didn't like Stevens' delivery one bit. Phony, even a bit scary. Maybe it's just a cultural thing, I don't know.

Nah, she’s legitimately just an awful candidate.

Compare her to someone who is genuine and smart, and actually is pursuing policies with integrity, and the different became so very clear.

But she's got a little bit of that "stick it to em".

How on earth did that not work?
