I loath…er..I mean, I love Eric Swalwell

Did I say loath? I meant love. He has stated that Trump is an agent of Putin, and stands by that based on the known facts. But he is also running on the "I'm going to out-Coons Chris Coons" platform. He might be the eventual nominee, so that's as far as I'll go, but my sense is that America is not clamouring for a guy who promises to put Republicans in his cabinet and try to talk to the NRA as if they are looking for some common sense compromises.

How’s your day going?

I can't talk about it (as you'll see below) but I was just introduced to the club. Apparently, all human-beings of goodwill are by default in the club. They remain in the club by following the four rules, and three guidances.

Trump vs (Insert Democrat Here)

There is going to be a lot of punditry around the Democratic horse race - 99% of it is bullshit. You can tune all of that out. Here is the bottom line: The Democrat who wins the nomination will be the one who is the most optimistic, upbeat, and hopeful candidate overall. That is to say - the anti-Trump. The candidate, like Obama, who seems to have the sunshine on his/her face and a fair breeze at his/her back. I don't know who that person is. It looked like it could be Uncle Joe for a while, now I doubt it. That person was Bernie in 2016, but the that contest was rigged from the outset for Clinton. I'm not sure Bernie has the most sunshine this year. We'll see. This is all the punditry you need.

I love Tim Ryan

Rep Tim Ryan from Ohio has announced, and has spoken the words "industrial policy" which jumps him up in my esteem. Germany has highly paid manufacturing jobs because they have an industrial policy. We don't have any industrial policy in this country because we've turned all industrial policy making over to CEOs that see every decision in terms of the next financial quarter's stock price. I also love whoever the Dems nominate, and I'm not interested in any criticism of any candidate that is based on repeating Russian memes.
