| Mar 17, 2019 at 9:45 | comment | added | Alexei | This looks like an interesting question, but it had some personal opinions that I have removed. You may revert them, but those are considered offtopic on Politics.SE. Also, it would be nice to include at least one reference to back up the claim in the title, especially for non-US members / less familiar with US politics. | |
