Apr 2020

then it's time to exit gracefully. Hanging on in defeat is not a good look nor is it constructive to the most important goal of all--thrashing Trump and his odious enablers in November.

The more time wasted on Bernie discussions or Sanders' supporters angst and/or those supporters' wobbly voting record, the more tick-tock energy is pulled from focusing on Donald Trump's disastrous, criminal presidency.

Friday night, The Donald dumped the IG, a retaliatory action most journalists reported. But what was in the investigative pipeline? The scuttlebutt is that there are/were whistleblowers on the current mismanagement and grifting related to Trump's Covid-19 response. Does anyone doubt that Donald Trump would do anything possible to prevent another scandal exploding in his orange face??

The only thing that matters is ridding ourselves of this pox named Trump. All this back and forth motion on Sanders is irrelevant to reaching that goal.

If Sanders could put aside his ego, he would drop out now. You know, for the sake of the country. I'll give the Senator from Vermont the benefit of the doubt after Wisconsin's results come in. His last chance is then.

That being said, I'm not feeling confident.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
