Allison says i will not be tuning in tonight. I have no use for organizations that give voice to bigots. And mark says, its a good question, the question is not whether or not its tile for a mens movement, its what the movement, what attempt to achieve, we heap to answer that, mark. Weve lost fathers tweeting in. Jorge says many of us fathers do more for our children than state, federal government think we do. There is too much emphasis on the dead beats and the rolling stones, as you can imagine today is going to be hot. Yeah.

Rebecca, should republicans or save it and spend it on the democrats . Eric, its not necessarily mutually exclusive, right . Republicans have plen of money. A lot of donors have been sitting on the sidelines, watching and waiting to see what happens with donald trump, only now are they really starting to spend tens of millions attacking him.

Maybe a retirement hoop for the gop, abu theyre forecasting spending 200 million against their own candidate which looks pretty much inevitable at this point. It really is nonsensical at this point. I think it says more about their inwillingness to be prong and give us cushy appointments and things like that.
