Gotta assume that the Free Press and the Washpost Opinion page have started a bidding war to bring Anne1985 aboard as a weekly columnist

I’m an independent and voting for Paxton. Although the last 10 years I’ve voted straight Republican due to the Democrat party having lost their minds completely.
