So does that mean they're supposed to turn off Pox Noise?

That’d be nice.

Maybe it's "God's plan" that they drop dead from the virus?

But then, they’d probably claim it’s the “Rapture.”

Mike Pompeo wants to be president.

Hopefully getting the trump all over him will stop that in its tracks.

Because he's a vindictive, petty little brat-child.

Unfortunately, one who’s very spoiled, overindulged, cunning, and extraordinarily powerful.

Inslee was my first choice too. Bummed that he couldn't go the distance.

We need that mentality in the White House. And rather desperately.

Emperor Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Dubya's version

was strumming while New Orleans drowned.

That's an interesting ticket.

We might have to ease America into the idea of a woman Chief Executive, after what we saw against Hillary Clinton.

Maybe the best way forward toward a woman president is to get America used to a woman on the ticket - assuming it’s a winning ticket. A woman Vice President would be superbly positioned to go for the top job.

I must admit I’m still smarting from the still-painful wounds from 2016 and what was done to Hillary. Pulling away to the proverbial “looking at it from 30-thousand feet” buzz phrase, my takeaway was that America may still be nervous about voting for a woman for the top job - even when presented with a candidate who was smart, creative, nimble-minded, fabulously experienced, and who already knew the turf AND all the players nationally and internationally.

So maybe the country has to be eased into this idea. Maybe we’ve spent WAY too long seeing the woman up on that stage - in the role of WIFE-of-candidate, instead of THE candidate. In a supporting role, not THE role.

Maybe America has an even bigger problem with gender than with race?

Just some thoughts, anyway.

I'm guessing Biden's debate performance last night

won a lot of voters over.

He did step up, in energy, forcefulness, and willingness to butt in.

Don’t know what took him so long, but it was good to see him in fighting for. He looked like a tired anemic well I don’t know I just never was a must see for me OK yeah I think it was a guy so too I just I was just never that interested in it OK that’s nice you know and he was a sympathetic character but it’s just you know I am in for me it was not a must see TV every week Star Trek is my CTV I started enjoying sex in the city while you were out of town for days and if that were still on I might find batteries must see TV also-ran in earlier outings. This time, last night, he looked like a front runner.

Still makes me wonder what the hell took him so long.

I just saw a graphic on CNN that shows a LOT of people out there agree with you.

about Biden. He’s a strong second choice.

And it appears he’s tremendously like able as a person, as a human being. Across the board.
