Chris Wallace: If Trump is seen as handling health, economic crisis well, ‘I don’t see how he gets beat’

By Stephen Frank on Apr 10, 2020 09:24 pm
This is the time to double our efforts on behalf of the re-election of President Trump.  We must also elect good folks to the State legislature and Congress.  While State GOP leaders are telling candidates to ignore the President, those that do could force Trump supporters not to vote for them.  How many will lose […]

By Stephen Frank on Apr 10, 2020 09:09 pm

BART’s coronavirus fear: Even after pandemic, not all riders may come back

By Stephen Frank on Apr 10, 2020 09:04 pm
