Politics makes for strange bedfellows

No argument. I still think she's an idiot -- and that her notoriety is more because of her gaffes and silliness more than anything. Being admired in her district really isn't impressive, considering that she is Latina and local ("Alex from the Bronx" but schooled in Westchester), given the demographics of that district.

Stevie is having a special on false equivalences today, so he'll be happy to know that I'm not a fan of Trump, either.

Nope. Just making sure the Idiot in Chief gets his due. He and AOC can join Hillary walking in the woods of Chappaqua for eternity.

...and the scary thing for us is that there is an unending line of opportunistic narcissists behind them, ready to assume a place in government.

Interesting stats from Axios today on the make-up of the electorate in 2020. Saw another article the other day that Gen Z and Millennials have very little if any strong affiliation with either party. (Kids are smarter than we give them credit). Combine that with the ridiculously low approval rating of Congress.

There are a lot of elements that set up a real opportunity for a third party candidate that is more centrist and speaks to this rapidly growing demographic. Especially, someone that can leverage social media (not like what many of us dinosaurs think we know about social media) to mobilize support. Howard Schultz? Maybe someone else?

Imagine if there were younger members of Congress (Dem and Rep) that endorsed a third party candidate over theirs because they feel they resonate more with their base? These times are a changing....

I’d laugh if it weren’t so believable.

Here is the difference. Dumb Republicans are represented by the current President and a former republican candidate for VP. Meanwhile the democrat is represented by a lowly freshman Congresswoman who gets an inordinate amount of publicity.

I really don’t care what team they play for. I simply never want to see the type get elected. Of course the higher the office, the worse off we are for it. See the daily Circus of Mooks & Miscreants infesting 1600 Penn Ave.
