"SNIP....

As the presidential election approaches, there has been a noticeable increase in parades of vehicles flying flags in support of President Donald Trump. From one coast to another, pro-Trump vehicles have backed up traffic for miles and miles. There have also been pro-Trump boat parades along the country's coastlines.

One tweet Sunday shows such backed-up vehicle traffic on New York City's Whitestone Bridge, which is the portion of Interstate-678 connecting Queens with the Bronx over the East River. In the caption, it reads: "I hope AOC isn't using the Whitestone Bridge today there is a lot of traffic!" The tweet has an American flag emoji behind it.

.....

"I took the [Throgs] Neck. Heard there was a pileup of chumps on the Whitestone," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.

.....SNIP"

That guy is so damn smart.

I just worry this country won’t elect a gay person, but then I didn’t think they’d elect a black man either, so I could be wrong.

I sat there on election night with my mouth hanging open and tears running down my face. My daughter was in Grant Park when Obama came back to Chicago after he won. People could get in only with tickets.

I was in McCormick Place with my husband when Obama was reelected. Tickets were required for that, too. All of us did the work, but we were just lucky in acquiring tickets.

And hope, to electing a racist, narcissist with so many character flaws that were glaringly obvious the very next time we elected a new president?

We’ve all spent four years trying to figure this out, but I still don’t get it.

The younger voters are more progressive while Pete appealed to older moderates while AOC is already popular with young voters. I'm just thinking of the future and who is more likely to win a primary.
