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.

Try to imagine if Hillary and Bill Clinton’s lives were switched. Hillary manages to get elected president in 1992 and Bill becomes First Gentleman.
Eight years later, Bill carpetbags it to New York to run for the Senate there and wins.
It’s nice to see many people are giving the Democratic establishment the middle finger by declaring that they won't vote for Hillary in November if she gets the nomination. However, it's almost May, and six months is a long time from now. Will the Bernie or Bust movement be able to hold strong until then? If Hillary gets the nomination, it’ll be the beginning of the long walk.
The other day I introduced myself. Someone read what I said, and indicated that they thought I might have come here to convince you all to vote for Hillary Clinton. That isn't the case, actually I came here because there's nobody to talk to in the real world around me, and I wanted to speak to progressives like myself.
However, I thought I would explain what I do think.
Juan Cole has appeared at several NetRoots meetups, long before the sell-out nature of the great orange Satan became so visible. He is one of the finest students and writers about the Muddle East that I have had the pleasure to meet. Today's article is by his contributor, Rebecca Gordon, who just authored Not al-Qaeda: Abu Zubayda as Bush’s Mengele Experiment

This is a bit of a sequel to my first essay. I'm just trying to probe the overall mood around here, whilst still trying to get into my stride. This was a bit of a pain in the ass to write since I couldn't seem to get it quite right.
Last evening, the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs minister, Stèphane Dion, announced a two-phase plan should Mr. Trump win on Election Day. The first phase would be to "thicken" existing border crossings. This phase could cost up to $10 billion over two years. The second phase would begin after a governmental evaluation following the mid-term elections. Should it be clear to Canada that a wall would be required, construction would begin at an eye-popping $20 billion, over four years. More below. (Meh, no one likes Canadian April Fool's humour. Oh well. "G, you turkey" :=) I get to laugh at myself: that works well too!)
Usually, some cable or boredcast news program is on in the background in my office. Originally I had planned to do a scathing review of the state of the state of the state of journalism in our state. For example, Blitz Wolfer was talking to some legal official about the charges being brought against Trumps campaign mangler, Corey Lewd'n'nasty. The official clearly stated, "Charges have been brought but the Defendant has not been arrested."

A conservative radio station had the opportunity to spend 10 minutes with Teh Don. I never heard of the radio host, but Charlie Sykes actually did a decent job. He was prepared, he followed up, and he asked questions to which people really want answers from him.
"Congrats on the birth of your grandchild."
