Yeah, I’m feeling more and more disenfranchised with each passing week.
I’m trying so hard not to say it, but I had a suspicion that this would happen. I’ve grown so used to politicians making all sorts of promises to get elected and then conveniently finding excuses to bail out.

Go to the mat, even though they don’t represent the majority of Americans. If you’re going to take on the veneer of the minority candidate, stand for minority issues.
I can’t hold back anymore…
I TOLD YOU SO! (Well, not you, Justin.)
