There were 20 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question: Is there one issue or candidate that will guide your vote on Feb. 11? Responses were varied, with many supporting President Donald Trump.
It’s Trump without question because of the great job he’s done to this country in the last few years. And I would also like to say, Susan Collins and Mitt Romney, I hope the Republican Party kicks you to the curb. You’re nothing but scum.
