Also classic Roseanne, and classic Roseanne-and-Jackies relationship?

Jackie didnt actually vote for Hillary Clinton.

Not that Jackie, wearing her best Nasty Woman T-shirt and pink pussy hat, completely backs down.

Roseanne and Dan nearly lost their home.

Theyre providing food and shelter to one of their adult children (Darlene) and two of their grandchildren.
