That would be true, if she ran on them alone, but she uses them strategically, fitting them to what voters desire. She waits for a voter to express a need or want. Then, instead of just making campaign promises, she explains how a specific plan is the solution. That reassures voters. <strong>RESIST<\/strong>!!<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nmzU_-87rMM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/msnbcleanforward\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MSNBC Channel<\/a>): <\/font>President Donald Trump Campaign Hush Money Scam Appears To Have Worked<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/nmzU_-87rMM\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">For all our humor about small hands and small peckers, Putin&#8217;s Pee Pervert had a bigger Pecker than we thought.
