Looking at the public response to those tiny factions is one of many variables that can give one an idea of the current and possibly predict the political heading. I am referring to very small changes occurring in those extremist parties. Sometimes, it can be difficult to find the data needed for this analysis. A possibility that I see happening would be that the Right wing momentum continue leading us fully into Fascism. The Constitutional checks and balances have not, thus far, kept this regime in check. However, The House needs a chance to do it's work. The Founding Fathers could not have anticipated a regime like Trump's getting into office. So far, the Checks and Balances have not held him back. He removed transgender persons from serving by Tweet. The environment is at risk by Executive Orders. Now they have Roe v Wade in the crosshairs. Not to mention all else he's done. If we are to escape the path we are following, we need a strong no-nonsense, statesman/stateswoman; however, thus far there's no one who fits my definition of a candidate for President who can reverse our course abruptly. I believe this individual needs to have a great deal of experience in terms of government (or executive) leadership, and be someone other countries can relate to.

lol....yes it is so often all about the $$$$$$!! I am thinking I was Beto so he would get some real time experience and after that I wanted to see how he faired in the bigger time. I do not feel he is ready to run our country...….likable but not presidential.

Today Beto seemed to be taking a step back from Medicare for all.
Recent polls suggest Trump's popularity is on the rise. Scary. I support Bernie. If it's not Bernie, I honestly don't care that much which candidate gets the nomination. I dislike Corey Booker. But I've changed my mind about not voting for him. I'll vote for any Dem. But I just don't care much who wins if it's not Bernie.

Too much baggage for me, but like you, I will vote for anyone running against Trump. I still feel Kamala is a better candidate, but Beto is being promoted by the media as the next coming. Beto is also unemcumbered by job responsibilities, and can campaign heavily before everyone else is able to dedicate the time. The article is by Reuters news |

I have to say she might be one I could not vote for if she got the nomination. Strong scent of crazy coming from her.

That puts them very closely connected to two of the biggest political scandals in American history. I was so excited when he was elected (and reelected). Wow. I can already hear the name-calling begin. I'm sure this is the most unpopular opinion on the board.

If you have opinions about this candidate or that one I've no problem listening but i have no use for malicious gossip. I won't indulge or put up with it in my personal life, why should i listen to it in a political thread? It's dirty, and it's not based on fact. People who indulge in it usually lead boring lives themselves so they must fantasize about yours or some other poor soul and cannot articulate on their own an individual, intelligent opinion based on what they have seen, observed or experienced. It's also very annoying and boring. that's why.

You're saying Jesse Smollett is one of the biggest scandals in US history?
Who is connected? Smollett's mother, the prosecutor, Obama? How is any of them connected to the accusation of Russian collusion?

I am a Bernie supporter first and last, but when Kamala talks about raises for teachers, my mouth starts to water. Love hearing that.

The Mueller Report
I think it might be more appropriate to call The Mueller Report the Barr memo, or rather better Barrnotes... you do remember Coles Notes, Barnes' Notes?

A quarterly FEC fundraising deadline is tonight. I don't understand these or why they are important, whether matching funds are determined or what? I googled, but could not figure it out in the time I wanted to spend.
ANYWAY, it did motivate me to donate to Bernie and Kamala and smaller amounts to Buttigieg and Warren. I guess if you aren't already donating, you might want to consider doing it today since they are telling us this deadline matters. I just gave a couple bucks to Hickenlooper, too. Hey, he owns a brew pub, and he's awkward as hell. That's enough to recommend him at this stage.
