The best thing we have going for us is Trump's aberrant behavior. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #22

We shouldn't. She shouldn't. defacto7 Aug 2017 #23

His aberrant behavior inures to our benefit. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #24

I absolutely agree. defacto7 Aug 2017 #30

No, Trump's abberant behavior doesn't enure to our benefit, it hurt real people... Expecting Rain Aug 2017 #31

The more aberrant his behavior the lower his numbers. That is great for us. DemocratSinceBirth Aug 2017 #34
