Amendment: Poll (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost
30 years, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates
were Democrats. If I had been a Democrat, the federal government would have
promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old notwithstanding
the fact that I am White, male, non-veteran, German American, Protestant, and
my ancestors have been in America since 1844.)

– Doug DeMuro (DIERSEN: The vehicles that you owned and own say more about you

precinct and the vehicles that they owned and own.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Donald
Trump: 2016 Cadillac Escalade It’s big. It’s bold. It’s brash. It’s in your
face. The Cadillac Escalade is essentially Donald Trump in automotive form,
with high-class luxury on the inside — just like one of his famed Trump Tower
buildings — and conspicuous, attention-grabbing styling on the outside.
Although we suspect The Donald doesn’t actually drive himself, we think he’d
drive an Escalade if he did.)
