the fact that there was not anywhere close to sufficient accountability, that's what the Democratic Party exists for.

If this woman wins, it's going to have to be a very good year.

She's the commander in chief of the National Guard. If there's a prison riot. If there's some kind of an outbreak of a health issue, you know, something like that.
