  1. Of course she is a Democrat, you cannot work for pbs unless you are a Democrat, it also helps that she is a homosexual.

  2. Anyone with an ounce of brain material can discern that Amy is a conservative. Being a lesbian is NOT an automatic indicator one is lgbtqxyz.

    My husband, lacking brain material isn’t familiar with Tammy Bruce, for example or the log cabin republicans.

  3. Amy Walter is extremely happy to keep telling us how terrible things are going for Dems and how well Trumpism and Repbs generally are doing.She overflows with delight.
