  There was the now infamous Trump has as much chance of winning as Cubs sli.mg is being attacked so I can only post a link you can't see !! https://i.sli.mg/nElXDz.jpg https://i.sli.mg/nElXDz.jpg He was described as an "insider pundit" by the Clinton team https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/28878 https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/28878 From:brentbbi@webtv.net : ...
