Quotes 

• Arpi Meskimen : ...we can actually have a substantive debate where I give Mayor Bremer a fact-based smack down.

  Jayden Kwapis : Yeah, it's just that debates aren't actually won on facts. It's about perception. Like most voters, I just scroll through my phone, see who's smiling, who's got a bug on their head.

  Arpi Meskimen : To quote Thomas Jefferson... problematic... "An informed citizenry is at the heart of a dynamic democracy."

  Jayden Kwapis : [robotic]  Boring. Change the channel.

  Arpi Meskimen : So you want me to get up there, and what, smile and talk about nothing?

• Arpi Meskimen : Let's do this, Kwapis. Tart me up and dumb me down.
