        Your post shows I am right. You are not capable of answering. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 5:23pm 2/6/20
        Not me who won't answer a direct question, Ned. Last time you voted for a D for Senator or Potus ? [NT] - ND521 - 5:42pm 2/6/20
        I'm happy to answer. - NedoftheHill - 6:45pm 2/6/20
