2016 election

A Review of the Electoral College

Recently I was discussing my support of Stein with a friend. They suggested that Stein supporters might cost the $hill the election. I agreed that indeed might be the case, but not in deep red Alabama. I went on to explain that Alabama was sure to vote T-rump. My friend was confused thinking that the popular vote somehow determined the election. I reminded them that Gore won the popular vote, but lost the electoral college (thanks to Jeb rigging the election in Florida).

Some interesting Trends on Google, Check out these trends in search results.

A couple days ago I mentioned in passing that I wondered what the Google Search results were looking like for a couple key terms.

So, me being me I started poking around.

Let's just say, I don't think the DNC is gonna be particularly happy with their decision making process this election

In order for Sanders to meet his pledge to do everything he can to prevent a Trump Presidency he now has no choice...

But to break free from the Democratic Party and do a third party run with the Greens.

That is literally the ONLY thing he can do to maximize the chances of Trump not being elected.

This mishandling of federal documents issue is just ONE scandal that Hillary has hanging over her head. There are many others as well but the most potentially damning, if not legally at least politically, is her Foundation and the Pay 2 Play scandal.

Don't Leave. Sit, Stay a While. Be With Bernie Until ...

I know you've reached your last shred of patience, are ready to blow a gasket and bolt from the Dem party, but don't. Between now and Philadelphia a lot can happen. Let's see what Bernie does. He's very savvy and can navigate Congress, the DNC, and whatever the Clintons throw at him. And there's still the outside chance that Justice will indict Hill.

Sander's Pivot on Clinton Support?

Could Bernie Sanders be signaling a pivot in his full-throated support for Hillary if she's the nominee? For months he's been saying that if he doesn't prevail in the primaries, he will support Clinton against Trump and URGE HIS SUPPORTERS to as well. That's caused a lot of angst here and been the source for many well-thought out diaries. It has spawned the Bernie or Bust movement and been the subject (and scorn) of many establishment pundits, and used as attack fodder among Clintonistas.

How Donald Trump Successfully Trolled America

Google is arguably the first tool that most people use to inform themselves about presidential candidates and election issues. People often use Google Search to ask political questions, while Google tries to guess the question and complete it while the user is still typing. The AI (artificially intelligent) algorithm Google employs for this feature is keyed to many environmental variables, but the most influential are terms and topics that are trending.

Thus, we come to Donald Trump. These days, people are searching his name often, and one of the most frequent questions they ask appears to be:

Is donald trump a republican or democrat?

The American people just aren't certain.

Bernie at the Democratic Convention: Let Us Not Talk Falsely Now

The lies of corporate politicians are the foundational cause of every crisis America is facing. Let us not talk falsely now is Bernie’s message to the despised political establishment, to the depraved economic establishment, to the degenerate media establishment, to the degraded military establishment, it’s his message to everyone in power, to everyone in authority at every level of society, to the police and the judges, to business owners and employers, to every American trapped in this twilight struggle for survival as the pursuit of corporate profit strangles the economy and the GOP casts the shadow of fascism across the entire political system.

Let us not talk falsely now.

I hear a lot of people talking about Boycotting the General. Lets talk.

I want to approach this from multiple angles, and I do tend to blather on and sometimes bounce around a wee bit but a free form rant style so please try bear with me. (Also, grammar and punctuation Nazi's, I know, I do indeed suck. Smile apologies in advance for any migraines I may cause.)
