2020 will begin a new era

Tonight’s Democratic debate

No war with Iran

Where I stand Hi John, It’s Congress’ JOB to rein in the president. Instead the GOP does Trump’s bidding while establishment Democrats wring their hands. These are many of the same Democrats, including my opponent Derek Kilmer, who voted to approve Trump’s recent war budget, the …
