Bernie or Hillary

Either Bernie or Hillary is fine with me. The stakes are huge and those who say they wouldn't vote for one or the other if they get the nomination are not Democrats in my mind.

I will probably vote for Bernie in my Massachusetts primary, but in reality Hillary is the one raising money for down ticket Democrats. While she has raised (27) millions to elect other Democrats, Bernie has not been able to extend any financial help to Democrats running to defeat Republicans.

Whoever the president ends up being, he/she will need the support of other Democrats to get anything done at all for the people.

We all know that big money must be taken out of politics, but it will never happen if we can't elect Democrats and change the court. Bernie's ideas have permeated the Democrat electorate so even if Hillary wins she will be running a Bernie influenced agenda.

Okay this is kinda funny

Trump Quote of the Day

“If Ted Cruz doesn’t clean up his act, stop cheating and doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen.”
— Donald Trump, quoted by Politico.

Blame those who vote for and legitimize this carpetbagger.


From FP artical by David Rothkopf


"Plenty of blame lies with Trump, who has consistently chosen to take the low road on the campaign trail unless an even lower one was available to him. By attacking Mexicans and Muslims and cherished American values, he has stirred up hatred and fear whenever he thought it would play to his advantage. He has promised to violate our Constitution and once again ridiculed our values with his assertion that he would do something “much worse” than waterboarding terrorists. He is repulsive. But he has also demonstrated enough smarts that we can know this kind of vileness is a choice. He believes it is working for him…because it is.


And it’s for this reason, that far worse than Trump are those who are choosing to vote for him. They argue that he is an alternative to the status quo and that alone is sufficient justification for giving such a man a better chance at becoming president with each of their votes. They buy into his proposed false choice between the corruption and dysfunction of Washington and “anything else.” They ignore his utter lack of qualifications. They sidestep his twisted and repugnant character or lack thereof. They are more to blame than the candidate. Any idiot can declare he wants to be president of the United States; it takes a real special kind of disregard for facts, national interests, our children’s future, and America’s standing in the world to actually vote for such an idiot."
