Good thing that the two frontrunners have the least crazy ideas and are the least hostile to the frum world from the bunch.
I guess I wasn’t the only one turned off by Stringer. He just spouts progressive talking points and is totally not charismatic. It would just be a repeat of De Blasio.
If Wang will give us a few dollars every month, I’m in.
He’s probably in Cuba. We’ll find out soon when President Trump comes back be’ez”H.
