Christine O’Donnell was right after all

Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. - Luke 4:24 Christine O'Donnell tried to warn us about human/animal hybrids, but did we listen? Photo Credit: Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp. (For you young'uns, Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp was an American action/adventure comedy series that originally aired on ABC from September 12, 1970 to January 2, 1971. I eagerly watched every Saturday morning. This can be regarded as a measure of how bad TV was in 1970.

Democratic Debate 2 – Day 2 Results

This night was a little more fight oriented, but there was still a lot to like about the Democratic candidates. The moderators sucked again. ("Can you guarantee raising taxes won't hurt the economy?" that was an actual question) All GOP frames all the time. Here is my take on the winners and losers: Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet He is only included on the strength os one viral anti-Trump video. Under the bright lights, he is nothing more than terrible centrism defended poorly. Drop out already. Former Vice President Joe Biden Joe actually did a pretty good job. despite the fact that Bill de Blasio tried to make a cottage industry out of attacking, him. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio When he wasn't trying to be the guy who broke Biden, he had some great thing to say. He screwed up his priorities so badly even Joe Biden commented on it. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker Like de Blasio, Booker saw beating up Joe as a way to be internet famous tomorrow. Again, it is a shame because he makes a great case when he isn't pandering to Twitter. Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro I like Castro. He didn't get very much traction tonight though. Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard She had it out for Harris in the way de Blasio had it out for Biden, Maybe it was all factual, but not a great look. Good ads during breaks. New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand As much as I don't like her she got in a good jab at Trump, and I love jabs at Trump. California Sen. Kamala Harris Her attacks on Biden didn't seem as strident or forced as de Blasio and Booker's attacks. She is about to be a front runner and has the countenance of someone who is a front runner. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee He won. Businessman Andrew Yang I want to hear more about his guaranteed income plans.

Things that only exist in the fantasy world of Democratic Centrists:

For all their talk about being "realistic" and "pragmatic" the Democratic centrists (represented on the stage last night by John Delaney), appear to hold a few fantastical beliefs on par with believing in Santa Claus and trickle-down economics. So here is my list of things that only exist in the fantasy world of Democratic Centrists: 1) Persuadable Trump voters 2) People who absolutely LOVE their company health insurance I'll be adding to this list as centrist continue to expose themselves as looney crackpots.

Debate 2 – Day 1 Results

It may sound pollyannish of me to say, but I think everyone (except Klobuchar) did a pretty good job. Oh, the moderators were terrible. Why can't anyone ask a question that isn't a reworded GOP talking point? Montana Gov. Steve Bullock Helped himself. A younger better Biden.
