The Debate
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 higher standard than Donald. Why is this? It’s as if Donald had to merely show up and Hillary had to single-handedly manage the entire substance of every question. Donald could not generate one substantive answer about nuclear weapons, climate change, racial relations and it goes on and on. I am simply perplexed as to anyone, no matter how angry he or she is about their lives, jobs and economy, could truly believe that this buffoon could be a responsible President. When I hear his followers claim that they like him because “he tells it like it is”, I’m wonder what “it” is. What they like is the entertainment factor. He says absolutely nothing. He can’t function now without a teleprompter at his rallies. And now he is blaming everyone for his poor debate performance while at the same time claiming that all of the polls reflect that he won the debate. He’s delusional and I didn’t even mention the sniffling. What the heck was that all about?
One more thing: I cannot believe that any woman could possibly vote for him. Aren’t you offended by his treatment of women? The followers will say, “Oh, he’s very good to his female employees.” Interesting. I guess that gives him the privilege of insulting and demeaning women. We’ve heard about Miss Universe and Rosie O’Donnell but what about his comments about Carly Fiorina’s face or Heidi Cruz’s appearance. As I said in my last post, the followers are so mesmerized by right wing blogs and right wing radio (such reliable news sources) they refuse to peel the onion and look at the core of their candidate who has no morals and lacks even a soul let alone any sense of self.
It’s frustrating and as I wait for the next debate, I should be a bit more relaxed. But like the talking heads all say, we don’t know which Donald Trump will show up (if he shows at all) which brings back my sense of anxiety. Oh, please. Make this all be over soon.

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…

Republican Nuremburg Rally

….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…
