". . . The adults were too sophisticated to see Trump’s special political talents—his instinct for every adversary’s weakness, his fanatical devotion to himself, his knack for imposing his will, his sheer staying power. They also failed to appreciate the advanced decay of the Republican Party, which by 2016 was far gone in a nihilistic pursuit of power at all costs. They didn’t grasp the readiness of large numbers of Americans to accept, even relish, Trump’s contempt for democratic norms and basic decency. It took the arrival of such a leader to reveal how many things that had always seemed engraved in monumental stone turned out to depend on those flimsy norms, and how much the norms depended on public opinion. Their vanishing exposed the real power of the presidency. Legal precedent could be deleted with a keystroke; law enforcement’s independence from the White House was optional; the separation of powers turned out to be a gentleman’s agreement; transparent lies were more potent than solid facts. None of this was clear to the political class until Trump became president. . . "

Health . . .

(from http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/topstories/if-socialist-candidate-bernie-sanders-was-president-heres-what-would-happen-to-the-us-economy/ar-AAfpAhN)
". . . "The great thing about Bernie Sanders is that there's no guile about him. His authenticity is pretty much based on him saying what he believes," said Middlebury University political science professor and expert in presidential politics Matt Dickinson. . . While the U.S. economy would certainly look different under a socialist Sanders presidency, it might not be as crazy as you'd think. . . (his) most significant proposals are implementing a single-payer health care system. . . As president, he would toss Obamacare and replace it with a "Medicare for all" system that he says would cost $1.38 trillion per year but save people and businesses more than $6 trillion over the next decade. . . (Gerald) Friedman . . . says the health care overhaul would enable up to $10 trillion in savings for the general public. And the other programs? Another $1.1 trillion in additional savings over 10 years. And excluding the issue of likely higher taxes, the programs could mean seven million more jobs and a nearly $4 trillion increase in economic activity in 2026. . . "

Fail . . .

NPR, of all media outlets, the very one frequently held as the gold standard of electronic journalism, has failed us. . . and this is not the first time. According to NPR, Hilary Clinton is the only 'household' name Democrat considering a run for the presidency.  There you have it. Case closed. Over-simplified?  Yes!  True though?  Yes!

But there are other, (and yes, possibly BETTER-qualified) well-suited candidates which NPR has failed to tell us about.  Not only have they failed, they have subliminally told their audience that there is virtually no choice.  Is that what NPR is SUPPOSED to tell us???

One of the (many) problems with our electoral system is the media's heavy influence over it.  A candidate is not serious if he can't afford the millions it takes to wage a campaign, which includes paying the media for the exposure it provides.

In spite of what NPR or any other 'news' outlet tells you, there truly ARE other potential Democratic candidates such as Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Luiz Gutierrez, Al Franken, Tim Kaine & John Kerry. . .and don't forget, independent ones either.

Broken

. . . record. . .

 

Mittster says, 
"The president's campaign falls far short of the magnitude of these times. And the presidency of the last four years has fallen far short of the promises of his last campaign," Romney said. "Four years ago, America voted for a post-partisan president, but they have seen the most partisan of political of presidents, and a Washington in gridlock because of it."

Now let's look at this carefully.  Here is a man who was a one-term governor and head of a 'global management consulting firm'  who conveniently espouses positions that appeal to any particular audience to whom he is speaking at any particular time, and running as the Republican party candidate, claiming that the sitting president is the "most partisan of political of presidents"(sic) and has caused gridlock because of it. 

Clearly this man does not live in a factual world.

Promises, promises. . .

(based upon http://www.nytimes.com)

. . . When your political party's candidates are described as disconnected from reality by old Marxists, possibly you should reconsider?  Fidel Castro said recently,  the “selection of a Republican candidate for the presidency of this globalized and expansive empire is — and I mean this seriously — the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been.”  It also seems that congressmen, senators and presidents look at the world differently than business and industry leaders, and this includes members of all political parties.  So says Thomas L. Friedman (author of THE WORLD IS FLAT) in the New York Times.

President Obama asked Steve Jobs last year why almost all of the 70 million iPhones, 30 million iPads and 59 million other products Apple sold the previous year were made overseas.  Jobs replied simply, "Those jobs aren't coming back."

Politicians view, ". . . the world as blocs of voters living in specific geographies — and they see their job as maximizing the economic benefits for the voters in their geography. . . "  BUT,  today's CEO's, ". . . see the world as a place where their products can be made anywhere through global supply chains (often assembled with nonunion-protected labor) and sold everywhere. These C.E.O.’s rarely talk about “outsourcing” these days. Their world is now so integrated that there is no “out” and no “in” anymore. In their businesses, every product and many services now are imagined, designed, marketed and built through global supply chains that seek to access the best quality talent at the lowest cost, wherever it exists. . . "

So when you cast your next vote, remember, here's just another opportunity for a politician, who is driven by that one overpowering desire - to get elected (or re-elected), to make another promise that he cannot keep.
