And what does that say about HIM, then?

You don’t ordinarily need “fixers” unless you’re always UP TO SOMETHING!!!!!” Something pretty doggone fishy, and CONTINUALLY so, at that. Hell, he had “Fixer #1” (Michael Cohen) on staff, for Pete’s sake!

Dear God I want that “empire” of his taken DOWN!!!

Yep. I saw him on MSNBC the other day. Talking about trump's relentless cheating.

At golf. And inevitably at everything else. He can’t NOT cheat.

Rosie O’Donnell was evidently watching at the same time and whoever the anchor was that hour commented on it. She said “just saw a tweet from Rosie O’Donnell, saying ‘I like that golf guy’.” Or words to that effect.

I remember thinking “cool! I’m watching MSNBC with Rosie O’Donnell! Well how ‘bout that!”

I'm already standing in the passenger loading area.

Won’t give up on Inslee yet, but much to my regret, he’s not catching fire. Mayor Pete just might be doing exactly that. And he does talk climate crisis - which ANY candidate will have to do if he or she hopes to get my attention.

I WILL vote for WHOEVER our nominee is. Regardless of my personal preference. Yep. Even Bernie. Who I hope is NOT our nominee. But if that’s how it turns out, so be it. If he’s our choice, then I’m there.

"A swig of water"! I wonder if that's a "Midwestern-ism"?

My mom and dad used that word a lot when I was a kid and we still lived in the Midwest before moving out to California. I don’t remember hearing it used as much (if at all, frankly) once we’d moved west.

“Want a swig?” - usually of juice or soda or lemonade something you might be drinking while hanging out with a friend when you thought they might like a taste. A kid memory of mine. Never applied to alcoholic beverages or beer - we weren’t old enough to be sampling that kind of drink yet.

Anybody know?

Just curious.

He has A LOT going for him

A very appealing candidate, I must say!

He’s my second choice, after Jay Inslee. But he does include the climate crisis in his priorities list. And for me, that’s CRITICALLY important. Kinda starts and ends there, for me, at this point.

This. The fans of the bad guys never fail to make it to the ballot box.

The ones we need often seem to be the same ones who get discouraged too easily and stay home.

If only we could get all our voters out to vote, we’d win every election! Simply because there are more of us. I wish we were able to use that potential power for real! WHENEVER it comes time to vote. Make our bigger numbers work for us - and for all of America.

Most interesting read.

Maybe some voters find her too wonky. I happen to like wonky. I like the nerds and the eggheads. Heck, I married a nerd! Never regretted it. Brains beat brawn every time, with me. Back in the early days of “Star Trek”, many were in Team Kirk. I was (and still am) solidly on Team Spock.

He really IS a cartoon!

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.
