After covering the flaws in the top tier Democratic presidential candidates, Paul Campos at LGM offers some sound advice:
But the problem [isn't] these particular candidates — not really. The problem is that when American political system combines with the contemporary American media environment and then the two of them meet the American voter, you get Donald Trump as president. That’s the problem. And that problem isn’t going away, unless we stop freaking out and do everything we can to make it go away, temporarily, no matter who gets the nomination. All of them could lose but all of them could also win, and if you think any of these people can’t win you’re just panicking. Don’t panic.We hope we don't have to repeat this message periodically, but we know we will be.
I dunno, panic seems inevitable. I was disheartened but not surprised to hear that LTC Vindman and his twin brother were escorted out of the White House and just now so was Gordon Sondlin. Trump is a vindictive bastard and he's showing his cult that he is the mafia boss and he'll send the message that anyone investigating him will be humiliated and taken down.
ReplyDeleteHe is on a vendetta and no one stops him. He is now unchained and his true supporters like Barr and McConnell are fully armed and loaded to blow up the elections. They are heady with unfettered power and I honestly don't know how we stop them.
So I'm not panicky yet, but I could see it from here.
