In September, Donald Trump told women: "I will be you protector." This didn't go over so well with the ladies. Quite a few feel they do not need to be protected by a man, especially not this man. Younger women, college-educated women and single women, in particular, tend to chafe at the idea of their requiring a man to protect them, especially a man who has been found liable in court for committing sexual assault and has been accused of it by many other women.
A Secret Company Is Spending Nearly Three-Quarters of a Billion Dollars for Harris Quick. What company is spending $700 million for Kamala Harris in a controversial way? Don't know? Well, we didn't either until we saw this story in The New York Times. The company, Future Forward, has raised and is spending $700 million in a way that some campaign pros think is inefficient.

Of all the posters here, I expected more from you.
Much more.

Thank you for constantly replying to me, eberly!
Our host, no doubt, appreciates the traffic.
(Did you really spend the day thinking about just the perfect retort to me? Really? That's delicious, eberly)

Just so I understand what you are asking for..."
