No conversion. Zero bongs.

Well at least he got the verbatim conversation in. Very poor entertainment value to the bouncy, though. Maybe he really is independent and doesn't follow politics with bated breath like you mutts do. I can't keep track of who's running the democraps from one day to the next; they keep getting fired or resigning or some such. I keep waiting for one of them to have a "suicide."
I mentioned Breitbart."What's that?""It's an alt conservative website.""What's alt conservative?""It's the racist, far right wing of the Republican party. Have you ever looked at it?""Nope. Never heard of it."
