I find this as a big story. All former living Presidents and this not limited to their staffs and former cabinet members who are standing ready to vote against Trump. I used this pic as it was the only one I could find that included all four but I am sure if George HW Bush…

All Living Former Presidents will not back Trump. Support for Biden/Harris by many republicans
I find this as a big story. All former living Presidents and this not limited to their staffs and former cabinet members who are standing ready to vote against Trump. I used this pic as it was the only one I could find that included all four but I am sure if George HW Bush…
Looking for quarantine entertainment? How about an odd interview of Bill Clinton by Elvis Costello?
As we all binge watch TV and YouTube, I came across this great clip of Elvis Costello interviewing fmr. President Bill Clinton before a relatively small crowd in Arkansas. What makes the clip interesting is that the subject matter is largely confined to music. Whatever you think of his policies, Clinton is bright enough to sit down…
Burns Strider and the “Bosslady”: The work continued after the campaign was over.
Sorry for being rather late on this one; I don’t write here much anymore. The reaction was ever so predictable. After the New York Times’ report that Clinton shielded campaign adviser Burns Strider after he made inappropriate advances on another staffer, against the wishes of her campaign manager who wanted him fired, there was first…
I know some will hate this, but…HRC should have picked Sanders as her VP. That's the future lesson
I say some will hate this because the Clinton v. Sanders wars have been litigated endlessly here. But, so what? That is what a Democratic political web site should have been doing all along. I only bring this up because I see the renewed interest in “what went wrong?” analysis after some recent appearance by…
A reminder about Democratic unity: there's a whole world out there beyond dKos and it's happening
The bitter primary rancor at Daily Kos might, if you didn’t venture out into meatspace, make you think that Democrats are as divided now as they were in 2008. Facebook, at least my timeline, would probably lead you to the same conclusion. However, the real world looks a lot different. I live in Dexter, Michigan…
Primaries, shmimaries: How the Republicans might win the Presidency
The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the…
“Getting things done” in Washington
An increasingly frequent refrain appearing in the media casts the democratic primary as a Manichean struggle between Sanders’ unrealistic goals and the staid pragmatism of Clinton. Clinton, we are told, can “get things done,” while Sanders’ pie in the sky thinking leads nowhere. I can understand the doubt that Sanders’ ambitious platform is achievable with…
Do you believe Clinton is unaware of top fossil fuel donors?
Hillary Clinton’s opponents in the Democratic primary pledged to not take donations from the fossil fuel industry. It’s an appropriate response to the fossil fuel industry’s tremendous influence in Washington, despite their presenting a catastrophic threat to the future of civilization. When an Iowa voter asked Clinton to take the same pledge she dodged the…
