THE CONVENTION: The big reveal
Because of space constraints, I’ve skipped ahead to page 280 where the authors declare that: “Hillary had struggled to define herself and her campaign in ways that appealed to voters...
Nope, I'm not going to be speaking about the animal the mule. Instead, I'll be speaking about the mules that are on nearly every third pair of feet in New York City.
