Today on Context Florida: I’ve got a (political) secret, Donald Trump & Paul Ryan, Pam Bondi and Kansas

in Apolitical by

Today on Context Florida: Thanks to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, Martin Dyckman says the campaign for president has become in part a bizarre version of the old celebrity game show, “I’ve Got a Secret.” This time, however, we know what secrets are being kept.
