What did Clark say?
From Mathew's perspective it is a reasonable question.
I'm sorry, but all politics aside, what I have learned about Clark, he represents the worst of military qualities.
From his opportunistic choice of party, to his preening, martinet demeanor, he is downright scary.
As I have said before, he reminds me of a Stephen King character. The fact that he does not seem to be catching on is a tribute to common wisdom.
