GOOD one, CaptYossarian!

Check ‘em for polyps!

And after all that he's STILL gonna be searching the world for somebody - anybody -

who’ll tell him what he wants to hear.

That’s his M.O.

It won’t matter what level of expert tries to get through to him. He wants an instant “fix” and he wants it NOW. Yesterday. Next week at the latest. So he wins himself extra bragging rights about how HE ALONE was able to get everybody off their asses and speeding toward a quickie-instant magic cure. You know, like you see ‘em do on TV! The problems all get solved, miraculously, before the ending credits and closing theme music!

And he can be proved right again, as usual, that the miraculous cure was indeed just right around the corner!

Must be nice to have such a simplistic mind. Everything is sooooooo simple and all problems get solved in a mere 15 minutes, max. That you can just make miracles happen by sheer force of will.

Interesting speculation.

Lordy I don’t want her anywhere near power. She’s probably gonna run someday, though. She’s ambitious as hell. And she’s quite cunning and calculating.

I still don't see how Bernie is NOT part of the "establishment" he claims to despise.

Since 1991 he’s been solidly ensconced in the House and then the Senate. Til this very day. That’s almost 30 years of elected office on Capitol Hill.

How does that not qualify as part of the “dreaded” “establishment”?

And in all that time, he’s led the fight to rename - what? Two post offices? wow...

That's hilarious!

And when questioned, Pence will fall back on the

“well this is the first I’ve heard of it” response.

OUCH!!!!!

That’s gonna hurt.

Truly. It's hard when you give your heart to a candidate and then watch her or him

failing to gain ground. I went through that when Jay Inslee dropped out. But I had to be practical and accept that the numbers just weren’t there for him. It takes strength and fortitude and feet both firmly on the ground, and a head not up in the clouds.

Amy always struck me as somebody eminently practical. Which, to me, is a virtue.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
