Maybe. otoh  I was 16 or so when I went to a JBS meeting and they seemed a 
little left wing to me or I should say Welch was willfully blind to some 
problems.

I don't like the NYC style but I'm familiar with it so some of his antics 
aren't that disturbing. I haven't cared for Hillary since she crawled out 
of the Arkansas swamp. Bill has a certain charm; she doesn't.

The one I found interesting is Ann Coulter. She makes no bones about being 
a shit-stirrer but she was one of the few people to support Trump early in 
the campaign. By the same token she had no problem attacking him when he 
didn't deliver.
