Seeking Nominations For Delaware’s MVP Of The Year For 2019
I’m strongly inclined towards anointing one person the MVP (Most Valuable To The Progressive Cause) this year, although I’m open to persuasion. Who else belongs on the list? Remember the criteria.

Trump Apparently Hallucinated That Taliban Cease-Fire.
