“I’ve had personal talks with some Democrats.”

The damned “journalists” are failing to do their goddamned jobs. They misunderstood/failed the assignment.

Were I one of those reporters, I’d have said, “What Democrats? House or Senate? Name them. Name them now, or we’ll say you’re lying because every time you started a tale with lines such as, “Some people,” “Many people,” “some say,” “A guy comes up to me and says, ‘Sir,’”, it’s been easily proven lie. EVERY time.”
