Do you think the Popular Vote Loser will order a Nuclear Strike against Hurricane Dorian?

Instead of having one three hour debate with the qualifying Democratic Candidates, ABC should have two two hour debates with five candidates each.

2020 is Shaping Up to be the Battle for what America Stands For.

Do not let Democracy Fall

The FEC has been neutered and people can run amuck and not worry about campaign finance laws.

Children of service members protecting our country that are born overseas have to apply for citizenship.

The British, like the Pre Hitler Governments, in 1920's and 30's Germany,  suspend Parliament.

We need to stand up for Democracy and Republics and not let the forces of totalitarianism and nativism (ethnocentrism) win.

Children born overseas to service members and other Americans who are protecting and serving our country should automatically become citizens at birth. It is appalling that this is even coming up. This is a slap in these brave peoples faces. This policy needs to be reversed yesterday.

Governor Jay Inslee just announced he is leaving the Presidential Race. With Governor John Hickenlooper withdrawing last week, that means two of the three experienced Governors running for the Democratic Nomination are no longer in the race. What a shame. Hopefully, Governor Bullock will last longer.
