1. K&R!

2. Why are we so afraid of a Trump or a Cruz or a Ryan?

Look at Alabama - Republican governor, Republican legislature, Republican state supreme court.

The unholy trifecta!

Hispanics have been run off. Blacks have the worst income disparities and joblessness in the country. The state continues to reject the 100% paid-for Medicaid expansion - and citizens are dying! Medicaid is short $85,000,000 and the legislature is looking at dropping prescription drug coverage (sure, you're poor, but Walmart can help you).

The state is pushing back against same-sex marriage, LGBT rights, a woman's Constitutional right of choice, passed a statewide ban on raising minimum wage in Alabama communities - in a state which has never established a minimum wage.

And the governor is a national laughingstock. The Speaker is still charged with criminal ethics violations.

Sweet home Alabama! Hope it doesn't spread like a plague.
