$25 will help survivors of German concentration camps in Russia.
Really?

My liberal daughter in Massachusetts voted for Joe.

"We need Warren in the senate. Pete was my first choice but when he dropped out it came down to who can beat Trump. I think it's Biden."

BTW she's 48, not a youngster.

Guess I'm not undecided any more. I voted for Joe in Alabama.

I guess I'm also a single issue voter for the first time.
My issue is "Who can beat Donnie Two-Scoops?".

Joe was not at all my first choice based on policies and plans, but of the top three polling now (Joe, Bernie, and Mike) I think he's the most likely to best Trump.
Ironically, of the three he is the youngest.


HOWEVER, I will absolutely vote for whoever gets the nomination.

Encouraging note: At my precinct in the reddest county in a bright crimson (Roll Tide?) state, one of the workers who I know said they were handing out more Democratic ballots than usual.

Do you have a Discover card?

If so, how do you like the new statement format and layout?

I do not like it.
The type face is harder to read and the charges are listed chronologically instead of grouped by category.

If you feel the way I do, please call Discover customer service at 1-800/347-2683 and tell them. I did.
Talked to a very pleasant woman who said this is how they learn what the customers want.
