and Rogan isn’t even conservative. wait till the next Democratic president is back to cutting deals with Mitch McConnell, or desperately trying to get Lindsey Graham to vote for something...

And lets not forget this Obama interview:

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
