If Donald Trump had to face a united Democratic Party in 2020, he'd have little chance of re-election. Trouble is, he won't, at least not if Bernie Sanders runs agains…

This isn't a comprehensive look back. Just some posts from the last year that stand out for me. I may do a more comprehensive 2018 later, but probably not. With…

The first post I wrote for Delaware Liberal back in January 2017 was about my suspicion that Trump was, in addition to his many character defects and possible psychopathy, showing…

Anyone who wonders why the Trump-Russia story gets so much ink must be blind to the popularity of mystery stories. Almost every novel, movie or TV show has some mystery…

Abraham Lincoln, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Theodore Roosevelt, William McKinley, George H. W. Bush, Gerald R. Ford, Ulysses S. Grant, William H. Taft, Calvin Coolidge, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, Rutherford B.…

FWIW - If you lined up all Republicans from most horrible to least horrible. George H.W. Bush would be among horrible but not terribly horrible like his son. And nothing…

One of the problems that a lot of people like myself, we have very high levels of intelligence, but we're not necessarily such believers. You look at our air and…

I've said from the beginning that the press should not call them "tweets" but "statements." We've given Trump's statements through twitter a special status. Because they mostly seem like nonsense, and because they tumble out like jazz improvisations, they don't get any real scrutiny from the press and public. As a result, they shield the President from the outrage that they should produce. We've laughed at a shrugged off the most appalling changes in our democracy that Trump has made because they were made through Twitter. Now Trump states on Twitter that he reserves the right to obstruct justice and use the power of Presidential pardon to free Paul Manafort if Manafort continues to obstruct the investigation into Russian interference in the election. Trump reserves the right to obstruct justice by pardoning Paul Manafort. He said it on Twitter.

The last unresolved House Race Of 2018 was won by the Democrat. The Dems flipped 40 seats. A huge wave. The aggregate Democratic House vote this year is 90.6% of…

This is some good blogging by Delaware Dem. For me, it tends to support El Som's assertion that Carney may be a dead man walking. Read the whole thing, but this is where Carney gets his ass beaten raw by Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster:

We know something is happening but we don't yet know what it is. Dominoes are falling in the Mueller probe, but even the most plugged-in pundits are struggling with what…

Coons just got a chance to promote his prayer breakfast on Morning Joe. The MSNBC panel ate it up, of course. Nobody seemed to recognize the irony of Coons extolling the value of praying with his GOP buddies every week just after stating that he is "puzzled" by why Mitch McConnell continues to block all efforts to protect the Special Counsel. Coons...Puzzled BTW - I missed most of Coons' segment. I'm sure his commitment to bipartisanship is fixing many problems because... reasons.
