Ms. Doesn't know why Korea is two countries doesn't stand a chance shy of serious handling. With astute handling, maybe. I still have hope that she pulls the republican party into two.

They are just figureheads now.

With Democrat candidates, it is different, at least for the moment. @Rick Taylor:
