It's raining out here in southeastern virginia.

It has not stopped since early morning. Local roads are starting to flood. I will blame Trump for that because I am sure he and Pence triggered the end of the world. It's probably the flood that's starting it all 😁😁

We should be ashamed of the way our primary system is setup.


The first two states in the primary contest are heavily majority white. The backbone of the party is largely made up of African Americans. Basically, we are saying let the white people decide what's best, you black guys should just vote for whomever we choose (for the record, I am white).

I watched some of the footage coming out of Iowa that night. I'm not sure I saw any black person in the crowd ( maybe I missed it ? ).

For a party that is supposed to be inclusive, I find that offensive.
Could not we come up with a better scheme ?

So basically those caucuses discriminate against older people

Or with disabilities. They just show that gymnasium where you have to run up and down the stairs each time you realign. How do they expect older people to do that for hours at end ?

it's just an exercise in loud mouthing, gesticulating and bullying.
