    The Mass Democratic primary map is odd looking.

    She won Cambridge, but not Somerville?

    That should not happen.

    Meanwhile in neighboring Travis County the Republican Party is in open revolt against the newly elected Chairman (won with 54% of the vote).

    “I will not rest until we remove him as chairman,” Mackowiak told the Tribune. “He’s going to be an absolute embarrassment to the party. And if we fail in these efforts, we will start an alternate organization.”

    Even as Mackowiak attempts to unseat Morrow, Morrow has called Mackowiak’s own conservative credentials into question, especially because of recent tweets from Mackowiak that included the hashtag #NeverTrump.

    “I don’t even think Mackowiak is going to support the Republican nominee, who is probably going to be Trump,” Morrow said. “What kind of traitor to the party is Matt Mackowiak? The incredible amount of damage someone like him does to the party — and he’s a douchebag.”

    With Krugman’s endorsement of Clinton over Sanders , I take it he’s perfectly comfortable with the prospect of Blackrock having absolute control of the U.S. – if not global – economy ( they already exert significant control ) :

    American workers , depending on how they vote , will get exactly what they deserve starting in 2017. The way things are shaping up presently in the primaries , they’re going to get it good and hard post-2017 , and very few are going to enjoy the experience.

    After reading the Larry Fink story I felt very sicked. We can all clearly see the revolving door or corruption and political favor is still live and well with the Washington “establishment”. HRC would do and say anything to get elected. She has no moral compass and has no trustworthiness or personal integrity. She has sold her soul to the oligarchs-devils big banks-Blackwater long ago.Now HCR can only use deceit and deception to get elected..If I were the minority groups in this country I would not be giving her a blind trust vote. If you really believe that “Black Lives Matter” perhaps you should be thinking more that “Your Vote Matters More”.
