32. I spent quite a bit of phone time with Seth Moulton two months ago

Wednesday

We were at the same event over New Year’s but never got to chat.

He certainly seemed liberal enough to me, definitely no Sinema, though we didn’t cover all subjects.

Markey seems liberal enough, too, but he was one of the ones who cruelly trashed Al Franken and (as far as I know) never apologized to Al. If he wins the nomination, I hope he wins re-election. However, if he loses the nomination, I will not have a second thought over supporting Moulton.
