this pretty much sums up how things appear from this end of the telescope.
But wait there's more...
“Hillary Clinton is now poised to become the Democratic nominee for president of the United States, but she simply lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office,” he adds.
Too many liberals and Democrats seem obsessed with talking about Donald Trump all the time. It's all about the latest crazy thing Trump says or does and why he is the worst person ever.
Dear Superdelegate:
I am a lifelong Democrat who lives in Ohio. I have voted straight Democratic ticket for the past 35 years and have campaigned for Democrats the last three elections. For the past year I have been campaigning for Bernie Sanders.
A PolitiFact piece headlined "Allegations of fraud and misconduct at Nevada Democratic convention unfounded" is going around. I'm not going to link to it because most people have seen it, and I don't want to give it the clicks. But I spent a fair amount of time looking through it last night, and I don't think it is fair. Here are my thoughts.
During Maine's Democratic Party Convention an amendment was submitted to the rules that would change the way super delegate votes are distributed.
The new rule, which passed to by a voice vote and chants of Bernie!Bernie! also included a call for other states to do the same in the conventions that follow.
This could be a BIG DEAL...
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.
and no one came?
A poll of Minnesotans conducted by the StarTribune newspaper paints a pretty bleak picture of voter sentiment toward the front-runners foisted upon us by the establishment.

(re-titled and edited a bit. Probably shouldn't have posted it at 1AM on a weekday too, lol!)
A few weeks back at the GOS one of our fellow C99Peeps recommended in a thread that I should cross post a Diary I had written over here as he/she thought it contained some useful information.
in case you missed it, we had a discussion regarding top issues here

Here's the poll. Let us know what matters to you. If I have this set up right, you can vote for one issue at a time, but can vote three times.
Hey guys,
Like most of you, I'm pretty much a newb here. And while I'm really enjoying the vibe -- or maybe because I'm really enjoying the vibe -- I got wondering which issues enjoy the broadest support across this community. Because there are a lot of issues that matter. And because this seems like a community where ideas can be debated freely and honestly.
