Hillary Clinton: regulate Wall Street and the terrorists win
Last night Hillary Clinton went “full Giuliani” when she compared criticism of her Wall Street ties to letting the terrorists win. For a candidate who is superb debate performer, the creepiest thing about last night is that this message wasn’t deployed as the result of a fumble. She said exactly what she meant to say. It all began when […]

Democrats need to heed Lincoln Chafee’s words on “Prosperity through Peace”
Former Republican US Senator turned Independent Governor and Democratic Presidential Candidate Lincoln Chafee dropped out of the race for the Democratic nomination on Friday. Chafee whose voting record in the Senate was the most liberal among Republicans during his tenure was one of the few that stood tall against the rush to war in Iraq. […]
Ask not who won the debate. Ask how you might win the future.
Tuesday night marked the most-watched Democratic Primary debate in history, with around 15.5 million viewers. This blew away expectations, and that’s not even counting those who accessed the feed online. But it’s not the most remarkable thing about this debate. Right after the broadcast, as the pundits and spinners were telling us how to perceive what […]
Snap Democratic Debate Reaction from multiple angles – Politicos vs Leftists
Twitter again tonight reminded me about the split in the people I keep company with. Political oriented people like myself felt like Secretary Hillary Clinton was the biggest winner. She looked strong, decisive and a leader. It is also about time we had a woman President, and we quite frankly in my opinion have far […]
Why no progressive journalists on Tuesday’s Democratic debate?
There’s an old a joke where one fish asks another fish “how’s the water?” The other fish replies, “what the hell is water?” The point is, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to perceive the conditions of one’s environment. They’re just given. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to the journalistic environment that’s created around […]
Florida can learn a lot from Texas
Florida is now the nation’s third largest state. Texas, the nation’s second largest state is reliably Republican now in Presidential elections, though throughout out the period from 1960 to 1988 it performed better for Democrats than Florida in every single election. Since 1992, Florida has outperformed Texas for Democrats in every single election. However, in […]
Bernie Sanders, Jeremy Corbyn the Iraq War and the growth of “Democratic Socialism”
Jeremy Corbyn’s landslide win in the Labour Party elections last month was a shock to the system of many in the political establishment on both sides of the Atlantic. Former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair warned the party that it risked obscurity on a permanent basis if Corbyn won, yet Labour’s membership which spiked right […]
Should Rick Scott’s poll numbers renew an interest in defining environmental issues?
The Florida Chamber poll that was released yesterday created headlines because it showed Donald Trump leading in the Sunshine State by a double-digit GOP Primary margin over Florida’s sitting Republican US Senator Marco Rubio and former Governor Jeb Bush even further back. But lost in some of the hype around the poll was that according […]
