It’s an obscenity that with the country being in dire straits its glorious leader is given a perty good chance for re-erection.
This is where the parliamentary systems have a clear advantage over our, arguably, archaic political system.
The president there with a guaranteed certain length of his service is a ceremonial clown with some rights to approve or disapprove of legislation, and that is all!
The prime minister, or premier, is the executive on the hot seat, with no guarantees as to the term of his employment. This is how it ought to be or you get what we are having, a King George for 4, and very likely for 8 years. Having executives that can be fired, even if every few months (as the Italians once did), is the protection for the people against abusers such as this bona fide Communist.
The Repub’s will not lose CO this year.
No Fraud for the Rats.
He will lose NC. VA is not going to be easy. I would hope the turnout in Ohio and Florida is enough. Gore lost because of TN.
