The $1K Cornerstone unleashes the coveted TDD for Justin, who leads w/ $4400, followed by Dan ($3800) & Jennifer ($1600).

In 1770 statesman & merchant John Brown laid the cornerstone for this state’s oldest university.

Four clues into this rd. of play & under Leaning Conservative, Dan has a VDD, risking four grand of his $6400. Here’s the clue from S.E. Cupp:

“Though I’m politically conservative, I support same-sex marriage as part of a group of Republicans dating from 1977 & named for this structure.”

“What is The Big House?”…incorrect, we’re afraid- who are the Log Cabin? The kingpin takes another TDD chance $800 From “T” to Shining “T” & w/ $5200, is that face value away from Dan’s 1st-place sum at the moment; Jennifer’s got $3600.

This term for one who traitorously switches allegiance dates from the mid-16th C.

“What is a turncoat?”…Justin’s successful. The curtains close on the $400 OSCAR-Winning Shorts clue, though.
