Gallup-ing, but to where?
No need to read the particulars just look at the titles and outcomes of the current Gallup Polls. Pick any topic. It's the magic crystal ball showing you the future. It's the legacy and the results of the next election. Have we 'hit bottom' yet? Not even close. Is their a 'will to win? A "state of mind?'' Win what? Hillary or Hillary's counterpart? Vietnam finished with 'don't mean nothin' This one i think deserves better so I looked at the common slang in espresso shops for a decaf skinny. One is Double Zero. The best is ' Why Bother?"
The government party's legacy and platform, past and future...."Why Bother?"
