Now, I doubt I would vote for this woman if we had a good senator, the likes of a Merkeley or a Sanders, but I would love to see Deep Stater Schumer, if not loose the election-- one must be realistic--at least not win overwhelmingly.

The point here is that one's protest vote does not need to stop with the presidential section on the ballot.

Sun AM – 7-24-2016 – Tim Kaine updates – what a horrible mistake – complete lunacy – does HRC staff have no memory of the buyers remorse voters had with Obama – Kaines nomination is one that only an extremely reckless person would ever consider or make

The Tim Kaine nomination is profoundly wrong. Wrong with an 50+% chance of being a profoundly horrible mistake for everyone in this county. A mistake that will hit the 98% of Americans who are not already Millionaires and Billionaires especially hard.

The three powerful reasons why no Democratic party US Senator - especially a harder to replace southern Senator - should be proactively taken from their Senate seat in the next 2 years are:

Is the US Senate Too Stupid and Corrupt to Represent the American People?

US Senate refuses to accept humanity's role in global climate change, again

It is nearly 27 years now since a Nasa scientist testified before the US Senate that the agency was 99% certain that rising global temperatures were caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

And the Senate still has not got it – based on the results of three symbolic climate change votes on Wednesday night.

The Senate voted virtually unanimously that climate change is occurring and not, as some Republicans have said, a hoax – but it defeated two measures attributing its causes to human activity.

Only one Senator, Roger Wicker, a Republican from Mississippi, voted against a resolution declaring climate change was real and not – as his fellow Republican, Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma once famous declared – a hoax. That measure passed 98 to one.

But the Senate voted down two measures that attributed climate change to human activity.
