Both are pretty inoffensive and a bit bland but what’s not to like about Swiss?

</div>

We were just considering that very question the other day (probably comes up a lot in your home too) and the consensus was that the pillow & sheet nest, not only provided a more dignified living arrangement, but was less likely over time to smell.

</div>

Taking a swing at Hillary would just fire up his base. “I had sex with Ivanka” would end his campaign (but also fire up some of his base).
