“As liberals are puppets in Donald Trump's show right now, all he needs to do is create any distraction and all of a sudden, the whole country is completely distracted, including the American left.

“The lack of fairness that we have in the richest country in the world is something that hits my district pretty hard. Eighty-three percent free and reduced lunch. We have the fourth-highest Medicaid population per capita in Virginia. There are folks that are just making it, literally day to day.

And, that's something to be commended here in our country, that people from all walks of life can be involved and that's not the case even in some developed countries.” PeopleCountryDifficultProveNeatBetter Person Author:Sam Rasoul
