80. Do you think the GOP cares?

Mar 2020

Take it from Pete's campaign what lies, gaslighting, and doubt does to a campaign.

Next thing is that Trump is pushing HARD for the African American community with swag shops and merchandise. If Democrats play tone deaf to the African American community, then it will be over.

Again, we have to get out of our feels and be pragmatic. Why give the Trump camp any ammunition?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
