I tolerated him, much longer than most here, all the way up to his endorsement of John McCain. That's when he lost me.

"I'm one of those people, and there are a lot of us, who don't quite feel comfortable either way yet," Lieberman said on Fox News last week.

but waiting this late, after it's clear that Trump's campaign has been destroyed beyond recovery, is hardly a demonstration of high principles. He doesn't even have the excuse of running for election himself.

left too many of his high principles behind him. He started out well in the 60s, but somewhere took a very wrong turn. His behavior now is not surprising since his recent behavior has been All About Joe.

It is only somewhat surprising that he didn't endorse Don the Con. There were reports that he was actually considering it.

Much as I dislike the current incarnation of Lieberman, I'm happy to have as many votes for/endorsements of Hillary as possible. I want the US to reject Don the Con as thoroughly and completely as possible by giving Hillary an unprecedented landslide.

Second Amendment solutions and the spiel I was just listening to that President Obama and Hillary Clinton founded ISIS.

Obviously, the reaction to the first, including being lectured by the Secret Service, subdued him briefly, but he wasn't chastened. Nor were they.

I will never, ever forgive him for that half ass debate performance. Cheney said, with a straight face, that all the money he made from Haliburton had nothing to do with government. And Joe, being so inside the bubble just sat there and smiled while the idiot audience clapped.

Peace
