McGovern had one hell of an uphill climb. High five to your folks.

Can we start a club?? I don't know how many more rundowns of the 1972 election my husband can take.

They could call it a 'Christ-moist' party!

Have a great day!

Sad news-- but on the bright side, contacting the psychic octopus from beyond the grave could only increase the accuracy of its predictions.

That would make for the best National Enquirer headline ever.

With so many NRA members registered Republicans it might be a second amendment solution. NTTAWWT

I suspect that Rinse & the Gang have already written off any chance at the White House, and their biggest fear is that tRump as the R nominee will poison their down-ballot candidates all across the country, because he will motivate metric fucktons of D voters to get their asses to the polls.

I know I'm playing with fire here, but if that's what Republicans fear the most, then THAT's what I want to see. Dems are already well-positioned to retake the Senate, and only need 30 seats to (dare I say it? I Dare!) win back the House.

Of course, if tRump runs as an R and somehow manages to win the Presidency (shudders), then please to be courteous enough to forget I ever wrote this.

I think we share the same dream! I haven't been hopeful enough that we could win back the Senate, much less the House, but I find myself oddly sexually aroused by that thought. Imagine another eight years without massive tax cuts for the rich and no bank collapses. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one!ISIS could fuck this election up, and if they do I am going to have my own personal jihad against them. I think they'd be dumb enough to plan some large scale attack in America so an asshole like Trump gets elected and we get sucked into fighting them in Syria.

Fortunately we raise all our animals on pasture and move their houses every few days and their fences before that part of the farm starts to get barren or nasty. Once they move we sow crops to build up the soil or provide forage later on. A month or two back I was using a tractor-pulled mower to cut down the grass where ducks had been six months before. It was so thick it actually bogged down the mower!
