> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > He’s got a point, **ddsun**. On most topics concerning anything we might be interested in observing a debate about, neither of those two is likely to take issue with the other’s positions. I think either one of them would get lost in a word salad explaining how to find the bathroom in their own house. **Dougie** here still hasn’t explained why he posted this thread. My bet is he meant to text a friend and was too embarrassed to explain when he realized his mistake. **SA** , well, where do I even start. Alas, our efforts to fund charity must go unrewarded. I’ll entertain myself with the notion that **Dougie** thinks Trump and Bernie _wouldn’t_ go at hammer and tongs if given the chance. ---
