   Yes . . . but she always “comes through” in the end. Strange lady. Even when literally betratyed—talked into voting for a bill she objected to because she was promised that eventually something about Medicaid expansion for Maine would be in it. Not.

   How do those dreadful “socialist” dystopias in Europe—Norway, Switzerland, France,, etc.—"do it"?

   And, best of all, the “Trial” will be over and done with before the Sunday chat-shows! It’s perfect!
