Donald J. Trump
We need to cage a President who knows no limits
We can brake the madness by giving control of the House of Representatives to the Democrats.
State of the Union
What is the state of the State of the Union?
With the advent of television, the SOTU is less information for Congress than it is a carnival pitch to lure citizens into the tent.
The Presidents Club
