Bivins Hollar likes to post videos from his bedroom. About weight loss. About Pokemon cards. About selling chewing gum at a flea market.

There are a lot of old-school (1st Depression) Democrats around here. They didn't flip for Eisenhower, Nixon or Reagan. I'm just surprised he's so tone deaf that he would run for office. On the other hand, the old-boy network around here is pretty insular.
