I will say this regarding the Democrats lack of introspection after the November loss. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 14/06/2017 02:58:17 PM

They blamed everyone but themselves. Especially Hillary Clinton who lost because she was going to continue Obama's policies - policies many not did not look on favorably from an economic perspective. No, she blamed everyone but herself. What was interesting is that Trump did better with minorities than McCain or Romney - despite his language. That says a lot about Clinton.

I look forward to seeing what the truth of the matter will be on the whole Russian connection to the election. However, the Democratic leadership must be loving it because almost no one talks about what was leaked in the DLC emails.

I keep seeing articles in the NYT that there is an essentially a war going on within the Democratic party. And this looks to be true. But this seems to be true of the Republican party as well. Moderates versus Extremes. Both extremes seem at fault here. Need to stop the who started it first game and start the let's finish this acrimony game.

I am ready for a Centrist Party to rise in the US. A Macron for the US if you will.
