Hillary’s Killing It

Results are still coming in but right now, Hillary Clinton is declared in 3 out of 5 “Super Tuesday III” states and leading in two others. It’s not over yet but if this holds, it’s hard to say how Bernie has any path to the nomination and goes forward from here it becomes much more of […]

Hillary Had A Bad Week #demtownhall

As the latest Democratic Town Hall beings on CNN, I thought I’d review a pretty bad week for the Clinton campaign… She had three major unforced errors in very short order this week: In an interview after Nancy Reagan’s funeral, Hillary said Reagan led the fight against AIDS in the 1980’s which is total bullshit and […]

Live Blogging the Democratic Debate #demdebate

Here’s some random thoughts… I wish Bernie would be more explicit in making some points.  Don’t just mention that you’re 20 points up against Trump in head-to-head polls; compare that to how Hillary does against Trump.  Similarly, when they bring up her delegate count including super delegates, point out that these delegates changed to Obama […]

10 Reasons Hillary Clinton Should *Not* Be The Democratic Nominee #feelthebern #michiganprimary

It feels somewhat wrong and somehow right to post this list on International Women’s Day.  But as she does with so many other things, Hillary Clinton has made her gender an integral part of her campaign (which, in turn, has polarized female voters around the issue of gender) so is there a better time? For that reason, here’s my […]

Great Summary of the Crazy US Election So Far…

Who would have believed a year ago that the Democratic Party would be imploding while trying to stifle their ideological base to take down a socialist who is out-fundraising everyone to preserve a Wall Street backed candidate whose approval ratings were less than desirable before their FBI scandal but you wouldn’t be able to even follow […]

A Super Long List of #SuperTuesday Random Thoughts

Well, not really.  Honestly, I don’t know what else to say other than this has easily been the craziest election campaign I have seen in my life (as foretold by the great movie, “Idocracy”!) Two outsider candidates are threatening the establishment insiders of both parties and the “Kang or Kodos” politics of barely distinguishable two-party candidates […]
