Letter to Kellyanne Conway

Dear Sweet Kelllyanne Conway:

A moment of your time, m'dear, before you begin snarking all the way to Capitol Hill. Your statement: "How about the fact that nobody liked your candidate? Or that people didn't connect with her? Or that you should have tried harder to get WHITE working class voters?

Well…Facts are sometimes hard to face, aren't they?

Fact: Donald Trump lost the Popular Vote…badly. According to the latest numbers, Hillary will be the only candidate who has lost by the margin equalling ten winning Presidential Candidates without taking office.
Fact: People didn't connect with Trump-according to your definition. Exit Polls showed that even those who DID vote for him didn't think he was qualified to be Commander in Chief.
Fact: Democratic Candidates try to reach ALL working class people-NOT just the WHITE working class voters. Seig Heil!

Why did you make a point to specify WHITE working class? This isn't about race, is it? Look at the camera, straight on with a face shot, and say that you embrace ALL the working class-black, brown, Muslim, Latino….ALL working class voters. Just as you can say with a straight face that Trump respects women. -And the world laughs. The facts are that the vote was repressed, plus the e-mail/Comey letter and Russia/Wikileaks worked against the first female major party candidate in the history of the United States.

Yes, there were things that the Clinton campaign should have done differently. But to lay the loss at the feet of Hillary Clinton's supposed lack of Popularity as a candidate is laughable. You have represented the LEAST likable candidate for President in the history of modern America. He is about to take the oath, God help us all. Learn to WIN Gracefully and stop being a 'sore winner'. It doesn't become you, dearie.

For those Dems in Despair...Take Heart!

Here is something that I've noticed. The fact is, most of the Hillary supporters were very upbeat and happy before the Election. And the mood for most Trump voters has always been some kind of perpetual gloom and doom attitude towards everything. They walk around perpetually convinced that Armageddon is near. Well, now that the Apocalypse has occurred (at least in Blue America), we need to take a deep breath, take a few steps, and look at the Big Picture from 10,000 feet. 1. Trump has to deliver: On all those promises, both real and totally unrealistic that he made during the Election. And although I understand that he is not a "normal" candidate, and we have much to worry about, he now has to perform. And as Mario Cuomo said, " You campaign in poetry. But you govern in prose ". Meaning when it comes down to brass tacks, he must go back to the same old Republican Dogma that has made up the GOP for the past forty years. Tax cuts for the rich, trickle-dow...

Are we even asking the right questions?

What is this about really? Are we somehow conflating this withdrawal with the idea of America as a superpower? Is it about American Exceptionalism and the idea that we have lost our innocence? Is this something that we will use to justify what we are doing in the world; where we are going, and what we want to be known for in the world? Just asking what we want to stand would be a good start in terms of questions going forward. This may be a conversation that needs to be had in the coming years. All of the talk, and the hopes and aspirations were discussed and mapped out before being put into the small 21st Century online political group that was created in 2017. The thoughts & ideas came from a hopeful take on the dark reflections seen in the election of Trump in 2016. Are we a country and a people that are even capable of building a better tomorrow? We need to be able to have this serious talk with Allies and others of good will; T...

Hillary and the Man in the Arena

From the standpoint of one who voted for and endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton, there seems to be a question hanging in the air. How could someone who opposed the Clintonian dynasty support Hillary’s bid for the Presidency? Isn’t it a bit hypocritical? Or at least inconsistent with the view previously taken? This is true for many supporters of Obama. Some on the left cannot support her bid for President.They see many of her acknowledged flaws and conclude she cannot be a viable option. My view comes from watching her over the course of the past eight years, four as the Secretary of State within this Administration. And having watched the two debate in 2008- Obama vs. Hillary- there can be little question that the divide that separates them on most issues is a small one. Theirs is a centrist left view of the world. On Foreign Policy, I daresay that Hillary would never have worked for Obama had she held wildly opposing views from his own world view. But the...
