Is It All Hillary's Fault?

By ocean-kat on Wed, 11/09/2016 - 6:56am |

Hillary certainly has to bear the responsibility for her loss. But is it true that if only Sanders or Biden or anybody else would have won? In almost every state, whether she won or lost, she out performed the down ballot state races. NH is too close to call but the republican easily picked up the governorship. AZ is still too close to call but McCain beat Kirkpatrick by 12 points. Even in IL where both Hillary and Duckworth won Hillary's margin of victory was larger than Duckworth's. Hillary outperformed Feingold in WI. Hillary out performed Barksdale in GA.

New Damaging Revelations in Clinton email probe

By ocean-kat on Sun, 10/30/2016 - 4:25pm |

I have to come clean before Comey sends a letter to congress about my computer and I get caught up in a national scandal. Hundreds of emails from Hillary and her campaign surrogates have been discovered in my in box. It could be they contain classified information. In all fairness to Hillary there is some possibility that the emails are duplicates of fundraising emails sent to millions of supporters on the campaign's email list.

Changes in the democratic primary system?

By ocean-kat on Sat, 06/25/2016 - 2:55pm |

I often wonder if a person's views change with the candidate they support. My opinions transcend the candidate I support. Every thing I'm posting here I not only believed before this primary but I believed long before the 08 primary. If TPM had saved it's reader's blogs discussions much of this post could be found there from ten years ago.

if we want to stop mass shootings we must call them crackers

By ocean-kat on Mon, 06/13/2016 - 8:35pm |

I hate to say it but Trump has a point. If we want to stop mass shootings by Muslims we must call them Radical Islamic terrorists.  If only Obama had done this the Orlando shooting would never have happened

We must face the fact that most mass shootings are committed by white men. The only way to stop this is to call them Cracker terrorists. Or perhaps Trailer Trash terrorists. It's the only way to stop it.

Bernie calls for a revolution

America is broken. The problems are numerous. Banks, Wall Street Bankers, Hedge funds, big banks too big to fail, corporations, and rich bankers. Business as usual will not solve our problems. We need a Revolution. A Revolution of The People, The People who are democratic senators. The People who are democratic representatives. The People who are democratic governors and democratic mayors. The People who are democratic super delegates.

Protesters Dragged Out of Trump Rally

Some recent video from a Trump rally.

Several protesters were dragged out of a Donald Trump rally in New Orleans last night by his security personnel. Rally attendants yelled “all lives matter” and shoved them as they were being forcibly ejected.

Will Republicans Unify Behind Trump?

By ocean-kat on Mon, 02/29/2016 - 2:09pm |

While no one knows how a person will vote there have been many polls where significant minorities of republicans state they will never vote for Trump in the general. There is a growing number of main stream republican leaders disavowing Trump.

A Pragmatic Approach To Elections

By ocean-kat on Fri, 10/16/2015 - 4:59pm |

When forming opinions about the flow of campaign events and deciding how to cast my vote there are three standards I look at.

A democrat must win.

I want liberal values and ideas to be debated and I want the party to move to the left.

I want the candidate to hold as many liberal views on the issues as is possible to win.

Hillary eats food and drinks too!

By ocean-kat on Sat, 04/18/2015 - 6:00pm |

I've been reading a lot about Hillary's trip to Chipotle and some have criticized this as a foolish focus on the irrelevant. I disagree, though I do think most of the writers are missing the real meaning and nuance of the story.

More Than Fifty States?

By ocean-kat on Thu, 11/07/2013 - 12:45am |

As I'm sure everyone knows five Colorado counties have voted to secede from the state of Colorado. We're about to see a 51st state! Its a logical reaction to the partisan split that's overtaking the country. But its not as simple as it sounds.
