Roughly 50/50 MAGAt/blue. He "didn't know" how to answer a lot of the tough questions--really, the guy is dumb as the proverbial box of rocks. He got a lot of jeers and catcalls when he gave pro-tRump responses. One of his answers on the "BBB" was to the effect that we have to cut spending to get the debt under control; someone suggested that we shouldn't be cutting our income (taxes), and he said that's what the tariffs are for; THAT brought out the boo-birds! The doofus said that if the bill hadn't passed, the "average Missourian" would see their taxes raised by a couple thousand dollars, ignoring the fact that they could have REDUCED taxes for the lower incomes, and raised them for the TOP earners, and still gained revenue. Like I said, the guy's an idiot. He did come out for releasing Epstein files, but most of his other responses were either "I don't know," or MAGAt bullshit spews. I didn't get to ask him my question about tRump's corruption, and whether he was okay with it.

I took a video of maybe two-thirds of it with my phone, but IDK if there is any other video of it. I haven't had a chance to look yet. If I can figure out a way to post mine here, I will, FWIW.
