“Bernie has the strongest base and the lowest ceiling, which is a paradox for him,” the top strategist says. “So the more fragmented the field is, the better the scenario is for him. But the winnowing will come about a year from now. Some of the current field won’t make it to Iowa because they won’t be able to make payroll. And the first two contests, in Iowa and New Hampshire, will reduce it to a three- or four-person narrative. Fifty-five percent of the vote right now is for neither Biden nor Sanders, the two high-name-recognition candidates. The question is, who gets the biggest market share of the vote for people who aren’t one of the old guys? We still think it comes down to generation and gender.”

One thing is clear, though: whoever emerges as the main rival to Sanders will hammer the argument that a vote for him is a vote to re-elect the Republican incumbent. “Bernie is the one guy in the field I think could easily lose to Trump,” a strategist for one of his opponents says. “And that scares the shit out of me.”

Medicynical note: Too old, Too much history, Too socialist.

When was the last time a self proclaimed socialist was elected to a national office?

The answer. NEVER!

Giannulli is a big Trump contributor. The pardon is likely already arranged.

Stupidity sometimes manifests itself in the oddest ways

Consider that In the Trump administration an all male policy group met to make policy about women’s rights. Or that Trump’s mini-me, Kushner, met with everyone but the Palestinians in developing a forthcoming Middle East “peace” plan to solve the Palestinian problem. This after unilaterally declaring Jerusalem the Israeli capital and smiling benevolently on increasing territorial annexation from the Palestinians. Or as in the current article the U.S. is meeting with the Taliban without a representative from the current Afghan government.

What do you think?

Medicynical note: As I’ve said before I don’t think we should elect one of the oldies. I consider anyone over 70 a candidate whose ship has sailed or an obviously unqualified buffoon. (You know who I mean).

Will anyone emerge or will the Democrats suicide them selves by going with an unelectable “socialist” fossil or an inexperienced naïf .

“After American Airlines announced on Sunday that it was canceling 115 flights a day through mid-August because of problems with the Boeing 737 Max, Donald Trump took a potentially explosive shot at the troubled manufacturer.”

“”What do I know about branding?” the president asked in a tweet sent around dawn on Monday. “Maybe nothing (but I did become President!), but if I were Boeing, I would FIX the Boeing 737 MAX, add some additional great features, & REBRAND the plane with a new name. No product has suffered like this one. But again, what the hell do I know?””

Medicynical note: Maybe change the name of the airline?……….. maybe something like Trump Air.

The most misogynist administration in history goes to Africa to promote the empowerment of women.

Medicynical note: This stuff is so ridiculous in itself that you really can’t make fun of it. But it really happened.

Ivanka of course was empowered by……………..dads money. Not a viable plan for entrepreneurs in Africa.

Trump takes issue with the benign comments of a US representative. While the mastermind behind and presumed orderer of the murder of a U.S. based journalist (Adnan Khashoggi in case you’re wondering) gets a free ride and enthusiastic greetings from Trump and his faux devoutly religious colleagues….. Pence and Pompeo.

Medicynical note: I’m tired of the endless lectures from religious hypocrites.

Don’t know what’s worse, the perpetrator or the facilitators (bin Salmon and Pompeo)

“The crown prince was considered “persona non grata” in most democratic parts of the world, Riedel said, apart from the White House. Hopes within the Trump administration that the Khashoggi murder would “fade away” have not materialised, he added.”

“Pompeo’s condemnation of Qahtani comes at a turbulent time for Saudi in Washington. While the crown prince has received steadfast support from his closest allies – Trump, the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Pompeo – the country is coming under fire on Capitol Hill, which earlier this month voted to end American military assistance for Saudi’s war in Yemen.”

Medicynical note: These devoutly religious (sic) people (I also include Pence and Kushner but not Trump in this grouping) essentially have condoned the murder of a U.S. resident journalist and are actively participating in the cover-up.
