“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”
Some are white and wealthy enough that the rules don’t apply. Some are in abusive relationships and feel forced to vote a certain way.
