We are in for hell if we do not get off our bases and start

looking at how our candidates can handle the international situation. Trump is installing a complete incompetent to head up the the Intelligence Committees.. Grennel.. totally not prepared to protect this country.

The only one on the debate stage last night prepared to try and and save us from being totally gutted on the world stage is Joe Biden!!


The only one even close to Joe would be Amy.. and Pete did a number on her last night..

We are a couple of weeks away from possibly handing this over to Trump for another 4 years.. I do not know where peoples heads are

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

He covered sexual harassment with an NDA and the blamed it on the woman. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

the same way with more bullshit than Bloomberg's campaign.

Pres O and Secretary Clinton would have admitted that their debate was bad and would have assured that they would do better on the next one. Just my opinion.

Times have changed for the worst.

7. That is right. He made it very clear that if he comes in with 30% of the delgates, and the 70% are

split between the other candidates, he won't agree to a second round.

In other words he thinks the 70% do not count, but even worse, he is going back on his word that he agreed to these rules

I am not very optimistic at this point about the prospects

8. But Joe had a great debate last night... I am still smiling about that

The media has its tires mired in the track that Joe will not win..but he is hitting his stride. Too late, I do not know.. but we will have that in front of us at the end of Super Tuesday. We are going to have some things put at rest ..

My biggest fear, is what has happened to the Republican Party will happen to us.
