16. I agree about Democrats needing to be tough on this issue

Tue Oct 28, 2025, 01:54 AM

Tuesday

but I wouldn't praise Trump. But we do need to be tough so the other side can't take advantage .

Bill Clinton and Barack Obama would have done whatever needed to be done to show this and so the other side can't use it against them .
