That's rich.

Almost comical to listen to Van Jones lament the possibility that he has to find a way to explain things to his children when they get up the morning after Trump's victory.

Here's a suggestion. How about dust off the talk you had with them when you had to explain cigars, BJ's,  and vulnerable interns...

They didn't even litter

I remember when there was a Tea Party movement in the US. I knew quite a few of the people in the movement. They were decent, hard working Americans who were upset by the profligate spending of the Republicans under Bush and the Democrats under Obama. Taxed Enough Already was their mantra.

Imagine my surprise when I would hear some of my Canadian friends deride the Tea Party movement as bunch of racists who were against an African American President. It did not require a lot of investigation to figure out where they were getting this information from.
ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and of course, right here at home on the CBC.

Did I mention they were polite, hardworking and didn't even litter?

Now we have Donald Trump.

Can you hear them now?

Enthusiasm gap (Hat tip Powerline blog)

 I just saw a remarkable post that suggests to me that there really is an enthusiasm gap...in Minnesota!
It is hard to believe that straggling crowds at Hillary events can over come the huge lineups and passions seen at Trump rallies...Tuesday will tell I suppose.

scary

That was a scary moment at the Trump rally.
I have to give him credit. He was back out in a few minutes and quite resilient.
As his momentum increases, I fear the threats to his safety will as well.

I spoke to a friend last night and now have an inkling as to why HRC can even be close. This friend had absolutely no idea about the FBI investigation or at least why Comey sent that letter to congress.
My explanation fell on deaf ears, my friend attributing all my comments to my 'right wing' bias. This person never watches anything except the nightly news or CNN. She rarely reads the papers. So her entire knowledge base comes from the people who want HRC to win. It was a fascinating, if frustrating, discussion.

Apparently the gender issue had relevance to this person as well. I honestly found it astounding. It is 2016 for heaven's sake. We've already had Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher and Kim Campbell etc. and none of them had to run a Bimbo Eruption unit for their  husband in order to take a run at the big seat....sheesh...

The thin blue line is getting thinner. When do we get to the point where these men and women say 'enough'?

RIP

I think there is something positive about the recent turn of events in the presidential race.
If HRC is defeated, it suggests to me that the universe is finding its balance.
She has gotten away with an awful to these past thirty some years and if she is finally exposed, it seems things are as they should be. If she is finally exposed by a sexting pervert, it sort of brings her whole sordid life full circle.
