Dan Sullivan’s campaign coterie think that the people who voted for Petersburg Dan Sullivan are so stupid that they voted for the wrong Sullivan by mistake.

Mike Dunleavy meandered across a range of international topics with vague and superficial comments that Donald Trump would approve on Greenland, the war in Iran, relations with Canada and more.
