Everyday I wonder how much more can we take. How much longer till the midterms? How many hateful Republicans won't be able to vote by then?

It was fun watching him, but it was kind of a sugar high. He's a far right near-Teabagger and now he's not right enough for the nut jobs in the AZ primaries. AZ electing a Diem senator is a Hail Marry pass at best. So that means that woman (what's her name) who is worse than Roy Moore will get the nomination and like a Senate seat.

I wish it weren't so.

read it. It was masterful, statesmanlike and very anti-Trump. I find that to be good news. His announcement that he won't run again? Well that in itself is equivocal at best. No knowing what effect it'll have, but his anti-Trump speech can't be anything but good.

Almost enough to make one weep.

In and of itself, it was a great speech.

He always said to worry when the 'News' is good. 'News' by its very nature is the odd or exceptional. I should normally be bad.

And there is actually lots of good economic news lately thanks to the legacy of President Obama. I expect that to change soon
