Witty opening line from Jordan Frasier:
Jeb Bush replaced the exclamation mark of his campaign logo with a period Saturday night as he officially suspended his presidential campaign following a disappointing finish in South Carolina.
In the end, though, Mr. Sanders does not have the breadth of experience or policy ideas that Mrs. Clinton offers. His boldest proposals — to break up the banks and to start all over on health care reform with a Medicare-for-all system — have earned him support among alienated middle-class voters and young people. But his plans for achieving them aren’t realistic, while Mrs. Clinton has very good, and achievable, proposals in both areas.
The Tampa Bay Times
To be sure, the former secretary of state is an imperfect candidate with political baggage that would sink most other politicians… But Clinton’s record as a pragmatic progressive should be beyond question, and so should her resilience.
In the recent Democratic debate, Bernie Sanders called Hillary Clinton’s attack on his criticism of President Obama a “low blow.” Sanders was right. That was a low blow from Clinton. She should not have gone down that path. She should stick to the issues and not play dirty politic. She did so well in the debate. Whereas Sanders was vague in his policies, she provided details, particularly on foreign policies. Sanders’s messages were inspiring, but Clinton’s were realistic; therefore, I am still rooting for her. It was disappointment to see her go down that path. Please focus on the issues and not the negative attacks. Obama did that in his campaign and he won twice. It worked.
Ted Cruz is being criticized for using dirty tricks to steal the Iowa caucuses. It is not his fault that the GOP’s voters were misinformed. The Republican candidates use these tactics all the time. How does Trump get this far with all the crazy things he had said? Don’t blame the players. Blame the game.
As I was dropping my kid off at the Jewish Community Center daycare, I overheard some old folks talked about politics. One man said, “Trump is a businessman. If it’s a yes, he’ll make a deal. If it’s a no, he’ll walk away. Obama doesn’t understand business.” Another man added, “Obama doesn’t know anything.” I guess Trump is still appealing to many conservatives.
Last Thursday night before I started my class, I made sure the door was shut and locked. The senseless shooting at the Umpqua Community College shooting made me took the precaution. I have 20 students under watch; therefore, I am responsible for their safety. It’s a damn shame that the U.S. has the best educational institutions in the world, and yet they are no longer a safe place to be in.
The gun law in the U.S. is in desperate need for a reform. President Obama spoke out about it in anger:
As I said just a few months ago, and I said a few months before that, and I said each time we see one of these mass shootings, our thoughts and prayers are not enough. It does not capture the heartache and grief and anger that we should feel. And it does nothing to prevent this carnage from being inflicted someplace else in America next week or a couple of months from now.
Obama’s time is running out. The candidates who make gun control their top priority will have my vote and support. I urge you do the same to make this country not only a great but also a safe place to live.
Dusting off my political category because the election is here. The Republican party is already getting fired up with 17 men and one woman running for president. With Donald Trump entering the race, he is making the election more interesting and entertaining. I hope he stays in the game until the general election. 2016 wouldn’t be fun without him. He should definitely consider third-party run if the GOP doesn’t support him.
Hilary Clinton has entered the race and Elizabeth Warren told Bill Maher on Real Time that she won’t be running even if he promised to contribute a million dollars to her campaign. If Warren stays true to her word, although I hope she would change her mind, I am all for the Clinton-Warren ticket in 2016.
If history repeats itself, we will have another Clinton vs. Bush, and I won’t mind seeing the Clinton in the White House for eight more years. Maybe Hilary will get her revenge by having some young male interns tossing her salad—just kidding.
Virginia governor GOP candidate Ken Cuccinelli pushes for reinstatement of state’s anti-sodomy law:
The law makes consensual oral or anal sex acts felonies, even for married couples who commit the acts in the privacy of their own homes.
Dude, keep your faith to yourself and stay the fuck out of our bedroom. I don’t need another religious nutjob running our state.
