Trump would be crazy to choose Cruz - Trump wouldn't be able to

Can New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu be persuaded to run as the Dem. nominee

for the Senate?
Has the political climate in Louisiana changed enough to permit a Democratic Senate victory?
How did the down ticket Democrats fare in the election?

A tall order. Too much to bite off and swallow in one gulp.

The world is made up of several billion souls.
Each person has limited time, energy and resources.
Most of us can only influence the small space and time around us.
By acting together we can influence more and for a longer time period.

Our challenge is to make the outcome positive, in the best sense.
Getting consensus on the goals is the hard part.

Having a good, strong leader helps, but that leader or leaders is hard to find.
Some want to lead for less than pure purposes.

Some persons confuse short time good for long time good.
The two are not the same.

Prayers for your brother, and a quick resolution to his and your problems.

It's hard to imagine that in this day and age chronic pain cannot be eased.
I cannot contemplate life under those circumstances.

Peace to you and your family.

I agree re Southern Dems promsing to expand Medicare. That was, I believe, the biggest mistake

of Kentucky Dems - Allison Grimes and Jack Conway - running away from Obama and the ACA, when they really needed to be promoting the good done in KY with kynect.

Vitter has announced that he will not run for re-election to the Senate.

Apparently many Republicans are eyeing Vitter's Senate seat, including Boustany.

The question is - will Democrat New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu consider a run for Senate, now the political climate in LAmay be changing?

How did the Dems do in the down ballot races? Did the Edwards votes

have a positive effect down ballot?

In banking and with prescriptions, I find it's better to deal with a human face.

It may take a few more minutes to drive through, etc., but worth it.

Also, with prescriptions - it's better that a human you recognize scans and evaluates your various prescriptions. A pharmacist knows the interactions between various drugs and can prevent problems.

Sometimes, technology isn't the best answer.
