Stone is 67 now. Forty months will have him out at approx 71. That's 2-3 yrs younger than Trump is now. These guys are like reptiles.They slither and survive.
And that despite Trump probably releasing him back into the swamp before he even gets one leg into a prison jumpsuit.

I am watching the Nevada Caucus, and so far, Bernie is leading. I just listened to what he said regarding health care. He is right, ya know. We in Canada see health care as a right. I am beginning to see that the strongest candidate so far is Bernie. Everything he says resonates with me. Why can't one of the most powerful and richest countries in the world offer free health care when smaller and less financially able countries such as Canada, France and the UK, etc. (and other European countries) offer free health care to its citizens? It demands - I think - a change of attitude in the people who vote.

I have had a few accidents in my life, have a steel plate in my arm, many screws, visits to the orthopedic surgeon afterwards, etc. There was nerve damage (couldn't feel my fingers), shoulder problems, months of physio, and free reiki. Mostly, have all of my arm back (like more than 95%), and ya know, it didn't cost me a cent.

Recently, having some dental work done, and discovered that the B.C. govt has a $1000 amount available for me that covers most of the costs...

Will probably be having the cataracts removed in the hospital free of charge as well (I changed my mind regarding Lasik surgery).

I don't worry if anything else happens, as I know even as I age, that the govt will take care of me, and this from a country that is not as rich or powerful as the U.S.

It isn't perfect here in Canada, but I don't expect perfection.

If all the delegates across the U.S.A. can rally around one candidate, I now think the Dems can win, even if it is Bernie. I wish him luck.

I don't believe that Bernie in the last election "split the vote". The fact that he didn't get nominated to run did not cause the Dems to lose. One can't blame him for the Dems' loss in that election. The Dems lost cause of Trump and his promise to make America great again (the same promise that Hitler made in the 1930's that got him elected).

Bloomberg can't debate for beans and he has too much baggage, and Biden isn't strong enough. I still like Warren, so we shall see who gets chosen. I am beginning to get interested again to see what happens.

They must have found a new med/drug for Donald as I didn't hear him sniffing during his India press conference. I did find him extremely flat and as usual talking and explaining things like a second grader (a little truth mixed in with a vivid imagination).

“It’s going to disappear. One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear,” Trump said at the White House Thursday.....I have often noticed what he spouts are reflections of himself. I can only hope one day I wake up, the miracle has happened and he is gone.
