Others have weighed in with their thoughts on the first All-Candidates Forum (and one thing that is clear from the varied commentary I’ve seen online and heard directly from others) is that no one really “won” the debate and instead, by the end of the night, the (relatively) equal footing of the various candidates so […]
I have written this blog that began in the oughties and which has gone on now for 2500 near-daily posts Forgive me the posts were delicious so sweet and so cold
