himself is but a child. Unfortunately he puts the Dotard to shame. As a mere child himself, he is more coherent and displays more wisdom, and genuine compassion than the teleprompter reading Dotard in the White House. What a shame.

hope for the future. I believe he is a senior. There was a ninth grade girl on with Ali Velshi who was also impressive. I’m so glad they are speaking out.
