    They have realized rump sold this group nothing but lies for the last 2 years and look what it got him. They do not feel the need to provide factual evidence for the numbers they produce.

      Yup, 6 million is almost exactly 95 million! Way to prove yer point, Pinkie!

      Bet your checkbooks is a REAL mess unless you pay someone to keep it accurate.

      Guess who is going to be President and imports illegal immigrants for domestic work and off-shores the JOBS of some of the 6 million? Guess who bribed a company to keep just 38% of their workforce in country (and, not in the least surprisingly) while at the same time BENEFITING himself financially? Who has refused to pay contractors, resulting in some of those companies to have to CUT JOBS? Who said “How do people make it on $7.25? Raise state minimum wage.” and also said “Don’t raise minimum wage; it makes us non-competitive?”
