    One ‘debate’ huh Mitt? How about one WITH Tim Aadlers ? You know, the guy who wants to get us back to the US Constitution and who wants to represent the people of Utah and not big banks when he gets to DC.

      What is it with you righties and going ‘back to the Constitution’? Exactly what edition of the Constitution are you talking about? There are many as amendments have been applied (and removed) over the years.

        The 2018 edition. It’s pretty simple. It’s the left that are having tantrums over things in the Constitution, such as the Electoral College.

        If you don’t like it then amend it.

        You should read it sometime, if you are capable. Because your comments clearly show that you don’t have a clue what’s in it!
