In 2020, I will invest in gun companies when whatever DEMOCRAT takes control

If you had invested in S&W stock when a Republican was President and sold it a year into a Democratic Presidency, then you would have outperformed the stock-market by about 63% from 1990 to present.

The only ways you could have consistently made more money with a single stock were during one-off events; like buying Citibank stock for pennies in late 2008 (it's worth ~$69 a share now and it was literally selling for pennies in December of 2008) or buying Amazon during its IPO and holding for 20 years.

I'm pretty sure the only thing Trump was calling for was less trading with Europe because he has no idea what a trade deficit is.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

See, the problem here is that its been so drat long since the last press conference that the reporters have like 50 scandals and messes to bring up and no time for followups or focus.

This is why the White House wants to cancel the daily briefings and do them sporadically. Makes it easier to dodge poo poo.

To be fair, Tim Ryan's suggestion is to be more economically populist, be more accepting of pro-life Democrats, and be less PC/don't explicitly talk about racial issues.

So, I don't think a lot of progressives are going to be super thrilled about the whole plan.

How can you not know if he believes that man made climate change is a thing?
You haven't asked him? What do you ask him?

Are we to infer that everything you say on the podium is the result of a question you've asked 45?
