I have a fantasy every four years and I want to share it. It isn’t fantasy as in impossible. I don’t want to elect a wise unicorn to the presidency or anything like that. My fantasy is entirely possible, it just won’t ever happen. In a nutshell, my fantasy is for all of the people…
For some reason, many (not all) people are either unable or unwilling to see the sexism being directed at Hillary Clinton this primary season. I know I’ve been going on about this, but I thought I’d give it one more try. But, this time I’m going to go about it differently. I’m going to provide…
I wasn’t going to comment on this. When I saw on the news on Thursday that Bernie Sanders had said that Hillary Clinton is not qualified to be president, I was going to ignore it. I was sure about a million other people would talk about it, so why add my voice? Plus, I’m completely…
Bernie Sanders wants to be President of the United States. He also wants to start a “revolution” against the “billionaire class.” Unfortunately for him, these are incompatible goals. In fact, Bernie’s ascent to the Oval Office would be about the worst thing that could happen to his revolution. This is something I’ve been feeling for…
When the Democratic results on Super Tuesday came in, I felt relieved. I wasn’t expecting that reaction. I thought I was undecided, but I guess I’m undecided no longer. I was a little nervous that Bernie Sanders would upset Clinton and I felt better about things when it became clear that Clinton would take the…
I’ve been seeing something baffling lately. I don’t know if it’s widespread or if it’s just a quirk of my social media feeds, but I’ve been seeing a bunch of people saying that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are the same. I don’t mean to say that they have similarities (I’ll talk about those later). …
There’s something that’s been bothering me about this primary season on the Democrat’s side. Whenever I read something written by a Hillary Clinton supporter, they always seem to say that they like Bernie Sanders and then go on to say why they like Clinton better. But, whenever I read something written by a Bernie Sanders…
As I’ve mentioned previously, I am an undecided voter. In my continuing effort to decide, I had the thought that I could steal an idea from a bunch of sitcoms and make pro and con lists for both candidates. I know full well that this won’t do much good. It’s not like all pros and…
In 1996, I took a class on political communication. Since it was a presidential election year, our big project was to follow a candidate from January through May and write a report about them, specifically focusing on their communication style. It was a good project and I learned a lot. I was assigned Steve Forbes. …
For the first time in my life, I’m an undecided voter. I always wondered about undecided voters. They are talked about every election, but, until now, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one. I’ve always wondered what they are like and what makes them undecided. Is there something wrong with them? Are they not paying attention? …
