This Donald thing is starting to blow up.

99. (sigh)

We're not all watching Fox. MSNBC and CNN manhandled Donnie boy very nicely. I thought Van Jones was going to require sedation.

We don't elect Presidents by popular vote. We never did.

Judy's pretty sharp and I trust her judgment. A friend of mine who comes from a background as an SAP Basis admin, then an ABAP developer said Bernie was the second coming of George McGovern would agree with you so...who? You can forget about Warren in 2020. When the banks get hold of her, she'll look like the brats that are sitting downstairs in my fridge.

Another guy I know said in about ten years the party will be forced to nominate a fortyish populist, a left wing Trump. There's no room for someone like that right now nor will there be for a number of years to come. It would have to be someone who talks to Ohio/Pennsylvania/Florida and there is no one like that on the radar right now. Richard Cordray might fit the bill but he reminds me of a midwestern Dukakis and we've shown that doesn't work. Tim Ryan is clearly an up-and-comer but his challenge to Pelosi fell flat...and why? MONEY. Nancy's daughter said her mom would have retired years ago if not for the big contributors so what does that mean? Some very necessary changes in the party are today nowhere in sight. The money is raised at the extremes, Ohio/Pennsylvania and Florida be damned. FINE. That's why this happened.

The party itself will have to change and when it does so many things will have shifted in the judicial branch that we'll be starting from square one. This was a huge loss. Bannon says if he gets what he wants, they'll govern for fifty years. We'll see.
