Manassas & Manassas Park Cities Democratic Committee

I have to admit that I was anxious about the debate this week.  I almost tuned in to Tiny House Hunters so I didn’t have to watch.  But I did.   I felt like a mother watching her child perform in his or her first school play.  But I was thankfully relieved to see Hillary perform Presidentially.  Nonetheless, it is abundantly clear that Hillary is being held to a much…

Today I had the experience of speaking with a Trump voter.  I don’t know any personally, probably because we all tend to stick with folks who share our views.  But I understand now how Trump has completely buffaloed a certain part of the population.  When asked, the Trump voter revealed that he got his “news” from WMAL talk radio and the internet.  He does not read newspapers because they are…

Just got back from Montreal on a business trip.  Beautiful city with the romantic background of French being spoken but everyone is bilingual.  There was one common thread when anyone learned that I was an American (we can be confused for Canadians), the folks who live in our neighbor to the North think that we are all absolutely nuts letting Trump even get near the White House.  I heard this…

It’s time for our local Republican candidates to share with the voters whether they are supporting, endorsing or voting for Donald Trump.  Of course, we can’t follow they into the voting booth, but our citizens need to know if Jon Way, Ian Lovejoy and Theresa Coates Ellis are Trump supporters or endorsers.  Hal needs to give us his position as well.  The Manassas GOP Committee endorses Trump according to their…

….otherwise known as a convention. But I can’t stand another minute where absolutely nothing of substance has been articulated.  Talk of Lucifer by Ben Carson was only outdone by Chris Christie’s Linda Blair impression.  I was fully expecting Christie’s head to begin spinning while spewing vomit.  But why should anyone be surprised?  The entire Trump campaign is predicated on hatred, conspiracies and lies.  The speakers have been specifically chosen to…
