or a gaslighter. We're folks who agree about a lot (that's why we're both on DU) while disagreeing about this one thing. And to reiterate, my major gripe is with David Corn (who should know better) - why didn't he include a photo showing the same empty seats WHILE Trump was speaking? I'd have preferred that version. Wouldn't you?
