Just hit me...

I just sat down glancing through Daily Kos. A headline caught my attention, "Trump loses his cool on Fox News." I thought, nah, not on Fox. My curiosity, some might say stupidity, got to me, and I started watching the video.
I should have known! I can not believe I fell for their lie! How could I be so naive???
It was a Trump infomercial.

Just needed to...

Trump Article from ThinkProgress

I have not seen this posted, and I believe it is well worth sharing.

SNIP:
No, I’m not here to waste your time debunking Donald Trump with “facts” from ““scientists.” That’d be like debunking pro-wrestling with facts. Or like explaining that “Reality TV Show” is an oxymoron.

Did not see Trump's call-in to Mornin Joe mentioned yet, sooooo...

I'm starting one.
As usual, Trump called in to a decent group around the table with Joe and Mika. Bob Woodward, Katty Kay, and Cokie Roberts to name a few.. I watched Trump waltz through very difficult questions b.s.ing all the while. He was smooth. I was, obviously looking, able to see right through him, but it is very scary to rely on the average voter. I can easily see what is going on, but what about the regular uninformed voter?
Is it just me having a panic attack?

Canned Heat Mama? I still love you.

It took me up until the night before the MA vote to make my decision. I went through just about every rationale why 'so and so' was better. Each side had compelling reasons for my vote.

I have been a Democrat since I first earned the right to vote, at 18, for McGovern. Heard all the names, and insults, thrown my way, but I survived, to come back and vote another day.

This race seemed different, not just because a lot more is riding on it for my party, but I actually like both candidates. They are "Lifers." 30-40 years dedicated to your country! Fighting for their dreams.

I am happy my decision is done, regardless of who wins the primary, I will be there fighting for our Democratic Party.
We have way too much to lose. I worry the most about losing our freedoms.

IN THE END, ALL OUR VOTES MATTER.

For DU members blocked from either the Clinton Group, or the Sanders Group.

It seems both groups have blocked hundreds of democrats from their group, at the slightest hint their candidate was being criticized, or might be a troll, or maybe a vole.
I believe the time has come for BLOCKED democratic members to have a group that allows for serious discussion of the pros, and cons, of each candidate without the threat of being blocked.
