And now he belittles the one candidate proposing repairing water purification, building bridges, and the like as a way of providing jobs.

Is a presidential candidate supposed to have memorized Wikipedia? <br /><br />Someone who answers with slogans, say, Trump, would have had a pat and superficial reply to all the questions.<br /><br />Now Sanders was not aware that the NY subway system no longer uses tokens, but is that so strange for someone who lives in Vermont and works in Washington? s. wallersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448905469871566228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-17448296263235757052016-04-08T11:03:16.692-04:002016-04-08T11:03:16.692-04:00S.
