154. I believe her. These are the undercurrents that have eroded trust in the Democratic party.

And definitely has stifled the desire to donate.

Then, there is just the black cloud of hindsight. My donations usually end up a wasted ticket on the horse race track floor. I actually have developed a test for myself. If I ever have the desire to write a check to a candidate it is usually the death knell for that candidate. It started with John Edwards. I had signed up for ten dollars a month. Boom, in the face. In the age of social media, he would have been vetted out faster, I think.

I didn't donate directly to Hillary, but I took a chance in the days before the election and wrote a check for $50.00 to the Democratic Party. It showed up on my credit card as the Hillary Victory Fund. Imagine how I felt when I saw it, when the election was called for Trump.

I was so frustrated, that I heeded a call from Jill Stein to find out what had happened, since we were all stunned about that result. Another wasted donation.

If it weren't for Obama, I would have a perfect record of throwing money at lost causes.
