The New York Times publisher has said out loud and in print that he is only going to print bad press for Biden because he said Biden won't give him a personal interview.
What do call lowest unemployment in 60 year low. Wages are higher. Inflation is down. Trump was horrible in comparison.
Why are people asking Hogan about how he would vote on abortion bills? Collins may have been a reliable vote against abortion bans. But she was a good soldier when it came to Trump's appointees, including Brett Kavanaugh. In defending her decision, she said that Kavanaugh assured her that he believes in stare decisis and that therefore confirming Kavanaugh would not endanger Roe v. Wade. Would Hogan engage in similar mental gymnastics to justify confirming Trump's appointees or would he hold the line?
I, too, like Mitt... but I'm also pretty sure he knows that in order to grant a pardon, the person on the receiving end must admit their guilt in order to get the pardon... fact check please... :) C
