The Kabuki between Trump and Clinton has nothing to do with the issues at stake. As you say Sam, the election is only a new deal from the old deck and the political season will begin again when the electorate gets a chance to make the Stein-Sanders demands against the new emperor's old obsolete plans. Clinton is a known opponent as compared to unknown Trump. The left opposition unfortunately lacks the strategic power to take advantage. E.g. it has been 5 years since OWS without a result. 5 years after the Boston Massacre the US was becoming a nation. One necessity is that Stein and Sanders stay on the road and perhaps appear together in a progressive action campaign for winning a pledged Congress in 2018 while framing opinion until then on behalf of radical progressive legislation and antiwar initiatives .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7018073541417646773.post-82928045503994502772016-11-01T14:40:25.748-04:002016-11-01T14:40:25.748-04:00Those are independant variables.

Not sure of the point, is it supposed to somehow lessen any possible criminality that may have been committed by Clinton with her actions violating State Department protocol, standards, and rules? Is 'pay to play' access and private profiteering any more or less legal when it involves, say, Dick Cheney and the fortunes of Halliburton than shenanigans dealing with the Clintons and their 'Foundation'?---Oh, if only the public could have access to Cheney's email archives!<br /><br />Still cannot bring yourself to publish anything about the Green Party presidential bid, can you Sam? Amazing. Everything this cycle could have been issued right from Robbie Mook's desk. Too bad. Gotta ask it again, what's the deal with so-called 'progressives' in the state of Maine, anyway? <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7018073541417646773.post-48342896949431720942016-10-31T18:12:17.744-04:002016-10-31T18:12:17.744-04:00Yes W.

Bush and company, is that W. Bush isn't currently running for president. If W. was running for president, his email scandals would be front and center like Hillary's currently are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
