Cynicism Is What Passes For Insight Among

Barack Obama's Inspirational Whoosh To The Presidency In 2008 Was Unusual. Most Campaigns Are Less Exhilarating; Indeed, They Are Downright Disappointing - Until Someone Wins.

I Believe, I Believe That The People Who Voted In Those Primaries For Donald Trump Were At Least Helping Him Along With His Message Of Hate Toward Immigrants, Toward Muslims.

We Should Never Go To War Unless We Have Been Attacked Or Are Under Direct, Immediate Threat Of Attack. Never. And Never Again.

I Can't Believe That Hillary Clinton Wants The World To Think That Whenever She Gets Into Political Trouble, She's Going To Have Her Husband Come Roaring About, Breaking Furniture, Sucking Up Oxygen, Spewing Carbon Dioxide.

And If That's The Case, Any Sane Voter Would Have To Think Twice Before Enabling This Sort Of Circus Act In The White House.
