Well, howdy there internet people, it's Bell again.

So today we're going to talk about Vance, Five Chances, No Answers, and Bugs.

at his disposal and unfettered media access, he still couldn't.

Just something to keep in mind if you believe the claim, because you can either believe

the claim or believe Trump is effective. You can't believe both.
