Several years ago, I switched my registration from Democrat to No-Party-Affiliation because, like so many others, I felt that the Democrats were largely failing to offer candidates that are consistent with my sense of how the party should operate.
This will be a series on my part, although I can't guarantee timing, because I am schedule-challenged.

I can't come back: I don't know how it works.
Is it okay to speak my mind here? Will I get banned if I say, "Hillary is the devil spawn of Henry Kissinger"? Just asking if this would be allowed at this website...
If I say that I can no longer vote for the "lesser of two evils", will I be banished to the corn field?
Or, I might want to point out that all of the things that I hated about Rmoney still make me vomit when they are wrapped up in a new and 'improved' (choke) package with the democratic seal of approval.
I am a bicyclist, I don't drive anything beyond two wheels and no motor. I don't go as far as I used to, as I have problems with my feet and my ankles. But I do the errands: I go to the post office, to the grocery store, to the water mill. Back and forth, same routes every time, along streets with pleasant landscaping and good dog fencing, because it is not fun to be rushed by loose dogs when bicycling.
VERY interesting interview Lee Camp had with Dr. Robert Epstein regarding how Google hits and what's trending could help steal the election.
99ers, rejoice (for those of you who still care), it is still possible to post things unfavorable (though not outright negative) at DK without getting the skull and bones award.
Please check out this story I just posted at TOP.
Sara R and winglion are getting reading for a Kickstarter, to put them on the path to a healthy financial future, but they aren't ready to do that until later this month.
Sara R is going under the knife again THIS FRIDAY, and I know it would help her immensely if she could do that with some peace of mind about their looming bills.
What follows is political analysis based on a supposition that Hillary and Trump win their Party's nominations. It is derived from a notable opinion piece by Dan Balz entitled, "What would Trump be like as GOP nominee?" I paraphrase some of Balz's passages and use quotes, as well. Our conclusions are different. Dan Balz is Chief Correspondent at The Washington Post.
Clinton and her team are planning to go early and hard against Trump. They are convinced that in the general election, Trump will be the same kind of opponent that he was in the Republican Primaries; that Trump's fall campaign style will continue to be slashing. They expect Trump to come at Clinton from both the right and the left.
Clinton’s team is preparing for what they believe will be one of the nastiest campaigns in recent memory. “Hillary set out a year ago to be a champion for everyday people and to help families finally start getting ahead again in this economy,” said Robby Mook, Clinton’s campaign manager. “That’s what she’s going to keep talking about in the general election. . . . Trump, I’m sure, will try to bully and throw out insults. That’s not going to derail her.”
But the Trump that Hillary's Team is preparing for is not the Trump who will be running in the general election. And, that could derail her.
