I have made my decision.

Tomorrow I will be voting for my Senior Senator, Elizabeth Warren, for President. It was not an easy decision. I much prefer for her to remain in the Senate, where she will not be encumbered by term limits. But, in the end, I decided to vote for the candidate who I feel is best suited for the job. Her intelligence, her commitment to Democratic values, her lability to listen to and to connect with ordinary Americans on a one on one basis, and her ability to frame her arguments in a way that people can understand make her, IMHO, the best candidate to sit in the Oval Office and to lead and to reunify these, (once), United States.

I don't know who the winner was

But Mayor Bloomberg was the clear loser.

What will it take?

What will it take for #MoscowMitch to come to the realization that Long Con Don is unfit for the office and is a danger to the Republic?

I'm not a member of any organized political party

I'm a Democrat.

Will Rogers

I was reminded of this while reading about the chaos in the Iowa caucus. It's as true today as it was when he said it. This disorganization is both a strength and a weakness for our party. I believe, however, that it is more of a strength than a weakness. It allows for a diversity of thought in which competing ideas can be aired, tested and evaluated. Democrats do not march in lockstep to any leader. I pray that we never do.
