Zeppelin. Only clunkers were the last two releases.
There were and still are a fair number of people who are convinced that because of declining white demographics that Democrats/liberals will win. This explains the derision of Republicans as a white male party or the post-election emphasis on the fact that Clinton won the popular vote. Prior to the election there were…
