DEM DEBATE
At this rate one is bound to have a drinking problem with the amount of debates before the presidential election and the drinking games that go along with it. Last night in Miami, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton tried to state their case on why they deserve to be the leader of our country. Bernie and Hillary were pressed on making a promise not to deport illegal immigrant children. Hilary is over the email gate questions and possibility of her dropping out of the race is ”not even going to happen.” Are the candidates Hispandering, due to their previous stances when it comes to illegal immigrants? But in the end it was about Bernie’s suit color. More on the debate HERE.
