About forty-five years ago a book was published, courtesy of the Trilateral Commission: The Crisis of Democracy. In it, all sorts of pleasing-sounding words were said, especially by the French and Japanese contributors. The American contributor, Samuel P.
I am detecting fake outrage from far too many people that should know better. The irregularities in Iowa, and the planned convolutions, and deceptions in the upcoming primaries and caucuses are not bugs in the system. They are features of the DNC's desperate attempt to continue its campaign of top down control.
So....the Democratic Party must be planning on rigging the election, either by cheating or smearing Trump (can they?) because they're well on their way to nominating the less popular, more hated candidate who does significantly worse head to head with Trump.
PPB (Political People Blog) has a new article out detailing the work of Julian Blair, a statistician and economist from the University of New South Wales in Australia who has been closely monitoring the race here.

My partner and I took turns poll watching today. It was interesting, but got more and more depressing as the day went on. First, a little Arizona history.
Honestly, I was spoiled by the result in Michigan. I actually, factually thought that Illinois would be berning up the polls yesterday. Pity that he only closed a 23 point gap by 21 points.

My fellow Berniecrats, Berniacs, Berners, or whatever else you call yourselves: I know today is frustrating. It was always going to be frustrating, at least through today.
Though we've lost some states today, the margins matter, and it looks like we will do better than expected in some cases. But in all, through today was always going to be our toughest slog. This is her finest hour this primary season, and that hour is coming to a close.
As a Michigander, it's no surprise to me that Sanders won the primary last night. The talk at all of the colleges was about turnout to support him and they did.
What pisses me off, is when so-called "Experts" try to make his win as insignificant as possible.
