I'm one of those strange ducks who evaluates candidates based on little things like what they say, what they've achieved, how they treat people, whether they seem to be able to galvanize voters. Other people's labels don't matter. Ted Cruz is other people. Very other.
I start physical therapy today, which some folks will say is a great way to start mental therapy without spilling your guts in front of a stranger. OK, only if my therapist goes easy on me. I get queasy just thinking about it.
We grow our own jalapeños is all I'm sayin'.
If your response to people urging others to vote is to dismiss all the candidates as not worthy, I get it. Hell, I might even donate to your campaign . . .

Thank you to those who recognized I didn't use up my full word count in a post yesterday. Yes, I know not every state voted yesterday. That said, my mind was on those that did, in particular #missouri. Overall happy with the results here - and in #michigan. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Feels like Trump is saying if your spouse or parents aren't lily white, fuck you for your service.
If you voted today, you're in the game. If you didn't, you're in the bleachers. This November, join the team. We're going to need you on the field.

In 1996, Congress imposed fines on undocumented immigrants. For 30 years, the government did not enforce those laws, and they were basically irrelevant. Enter Trump, and the US government is now fining dishwashers and delivery drivers more than rich friends of the President who stole billions.

“To be called out by . . . the president of the United States, & called a sick, violent vandal when all I had done was pick up a piece of trash was awful,” Dennison-Gibby said. “The reality, is that this is a symptom of a much bigger problem, & people need to wake up, and they need to do it fast.”

Why did DOJ send people to "monitor" the polls in #Michigan? El Sayed, I imagine.
“while the US Department of Justice continues to pursue baseless allegations to confuse voters about those facts, we welcome anyone who wants to – in compliance with the law – observe #Michigan elections process.”

Don't tell me it's never going to happen. Stop and think about all that congress could get done after November - with a veto proof majority Want a reason to vote? How about passing legislation that can go past just addressing all his damage - and there's not a damned thing he could do about it.
My wife and I sailed right on through. Two more votes against the most stupid, self-serving amendments I've ever read. #missouri
