You know who's not buying Thanksgiving dinner at Walmart?

Yeah, all the people up making decisions! None of them have been in a grocery store, they have little people who do that.
Every elected official needs to go home and stand in a food bank line! Every One! Every One needs to go to a grocery store. Cripes, none of them seem like they have an fn clue

It is almost never the cheapest choice, and more to the point, if you want to contribute to Republicans, you should contribute directly to the ones you actually support.

because Wal-Mart drove out the small local stores and there's nowhere else nearby to shop. I won't set foot in a Wal-Mart but I live in a large city and I have many other options that people in small towns don't; they're stuck with Wal-Mart.

Is that the people making those decisions in government do not shop or cook for themselves. Not what store you shop at.
I remember the days of figuring what bills to pay and eating a lot of egg salad because I had almost no money.

Me and my wife are not rich but we are in a reasonable spot, some we know are not so lucky.

Trump and his crew never had that experience.
