(81,265 posts)Every time Ive heard him speak Ive been impressed, and then more impressed. I like his ideas, his take on things. AND his demeanor. He behaves like a serious and thoughtful public servant. Hes presidential already. I can easily picture him behind that desk where hed bring a clear view, an open mind, and wise decision-making to the job. Which is what we need in a President. Someone we could look up to, again. At long last.

(81,265 posts)Like Ive not quite heard from any of the others. YES several of them have stressed the subject and at least indicate that they take it seriously. (As they SHOULD!!!) but Inslees all in on it. Its everywhere in his point of view. But thats probably because its like that in my own point of view.
Ive become a Planet FIRST type of gal. Because if we dont do something decisive about THIS problem, nothing else is gonna matter much - regarding ANY of our other problems.

Since the administration has suppressed the presentation of climate change data on the EPA website, the City of South Bend will host an archive of the site on our own servers. Thanks to the City of Chicago for leading the way on keeping this information available.

(314 posts)If we keep doing this up and down stuff, we're looking at a major split which will not be good for anyone.

(14,565 posts)Laughable. Beyond laughable. Power ratings by definition are rigid and unimpressed. Absolutely nothing of note is happening in March 2019. There should be maybe one or two moves of one spot. That's it, and even that is a liberal interpretation.
I am forever amazed at so much desperation to change mind based on short term nothingness. But that's why the lies and fake news crap are so successful. People no longer hold onto a value system or long term foundational belief when they can be scared away, or otherwise influenced, on a moment's notice.
