Sunday, October 9, 2016 1

A Facebook conversation with a friend of a friend. October 2016 (I fixed some grammar, for both of us) ME:  Let’s be honest, neither Hillary or Trump is defendable. They are both variations of Leftist Big Government leaders, they just have different suitors and entitlement recipients.
