This should not be much of a surprise to anyone. Unless they are independently wealthy (some are), I would expect Dems to secure their portion of donations from the politically interested. However, it appears people had more interest in Republicans this time. Trump cleaned up with three times the amount Kamala Harris received. This opens […]
I am stealing from Infidel753’s site to which the link is below in the title. There is truth to what is being said. In fact (and unless you are up on what is really happening) many of us may have happened as the nation was still in recovery from a recession of sorts. Then there […]
Posting of a comment by J.P. McJefferson to the earlier post “American Idiot(s),” Angry Bear. J.P. hits the same note I have been discussing in earlier commentaries about voting here and here. To add to J.P.’s comment on Angry Bear; “73.6% (or 174 million people) of the citizen voting-age population was registered to vote.” And […]
Still attempting to make sense of what happened in election of 2024. By all expectations, rights, etc. Kamala Harris should have won. She handily outshone Donald Trump in the debate. I fully expected her to do so. There were things working against her such as the late start in campaigning. I believe Democrats did not […]
US Citizens awaken to their new world. Prof. Heather Cox Richardson at “Letters from an American” has a good take on what is taking place three days after the 2024 Election. She states people are beginning to realize what will take place once a Trump presidency and a mostly Republican Congress begins to implement the […]
– by New Deal democrat This is not a formal post about Tuesday’s election. But with the benefit of “revealed preference” a/k/a 20/20 hindsight, it’s pretty clear that the Fed rate hikes were an important part of why Kamala Harris and the Democrats failed. Because we may or may not be experiencing a “soft landing” […]
Timothy Snyder energizing us on voting and why we should be voting without fear. We choose the president and not Trump. “Thinking About” . . . Why has Donald Trump shown his darkest side these last few days? He is energizing his base for the authoritarianism he hopes to bring about. And he is preparing his voters […]
The report does say ABC News. However, I saw this first on Crooks and Liars as reported by David Edwards. You have to wonder how Corporal Vance ever ended up in the position he is in today. What does he do after a day of story telling to convince people he is right. ABC News […]
October 8, 2022 by Prof. Heather Cox-Richardson Letters from an American “It’s been a tradition for more than half a century that the major party candidates for president sit down with 60 Minutes in October,” host Scott Pelley said to the camera last night before 60 Minutes aired an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. This year, both Harris […]
This is not 2016 and Trump got one hell of a shellacking from Harris in the debate. She was smiling . . . This forecast by Nate Silver seems to me to be a bit optimistic. about Trump in the lead with 60-something percent. After Trump’s debate performance with Kamala Harris, I do not see […]
