Yes, Apparently You Can Buy The Presidential Nomination PART II

Just watching the Super Tuesday results come in…and no, Michael Bloomberg isn’t picking up delegates by the ton…but he’s got a handful so far. But he’s ahead of Senator Elizabeth Warren in eight of the states as of 10:00 PM. [and Mr. Bloomberg snagged American Samoa, go figure!] I would…

Some Random Thoughts On Last Night’s Dem Debate

I haven’t actually watched an entire debate. Just part’s of the previous one but most of last night’s version from Las Vegas. I missed the first ten minutes or so and the last 15 when my streaming went to hell and wanted to show me the president’s rally instead. shrug….

New Hampshire Winner: The Moderates

Yes, I understand that Senator Bernie Sanders carried the day in New Hampshire. But it wasn’t the resounding win that he experienced in 2016 against a very well known opponent. But this time the moderates clearly won. If you take Sen. Sanders vote total and Senator Elizabeth Warren’s vote total,…

“Mayor Pete” pulls ahead in NH – but will it last?

This is an interesting wrinkle in the 2020 Democratic presidential race. Pete Buttigieg surged ahead of Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire by 1 percentage point, according to a new poll released Friday by Suffolk University, continuing a steady ascension that’s followed his strong performance in the Iowa caucuses Monday. Buttigieg,…

The Iowa Democratic shitshow

Nearly a day after the Iowa Democratic caucus concluded Democrats still don’t have a definitive answer as to which Democratic presidential candidate actually won the caucuses. To say this is a shitshow (pardon my language) is probably a bit of an overstatement but it certainly doesn’t look good, and already…

I have several personal email accounts and two Blogging Blue accounts. Besides the campaigns that I have ‘subscribed’ to, I get dozens of emails from Democratic candidates across the country. Many of them I have never heard of. They are often running for the House from their home states or…

Iowa progressives endorse Bernie Sanders and Medicare for All. Wisconsin progressives should follow suit.

Greetings Blogging Blue readers! It’s been quite some time since I’ve graced these pages with my particular brand of progressive proselytizing, but the moment that’s upon us is one that even this cynical, jaded, retired and tired old man (sort of) can’t sit back and ignore any longer. So pour…

Will There Be An Impeachment Trial In The Senate?

Damn straight! And here’s why: The House is expected to approve their Articles of Impeachment along an essentially party line vote. Now over the past few months, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has indicated that he might table the trial portion of the proceedings…but that’s pretty much bullshit. It’s been…

Bernie Sanders Vs. Donald Trump

No I am not talking about November 2020. I am talking about transparency. Bernie Sanders had a heart attack and went to the hospital and had a stent placed…and we know every detail. It seems the most transparent president in history (self-proclaimed for those not following along) went to Walter…

Sanders to take a break from campaigning…

whoops…I left out the key descriptor: to rest his voice. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is canceling some campaign events to rest his voice. His campaign said Saturday that Sanders will return home following his appearance on Sunday at the College of Charleston’s “Bully Pulpit” series. Three campaign events and…
