Over the years, there have been dubious candidates who have entered the race knowing they have a snowball chance in hell of getting elected. We call them no can do dates. These are people, or in the latest case do it simply to improve their brand name recognition. But beware of wasting your one vote.

There have been so many. Here are just a few... Pat Paulson, Lyndon LaRouche, and The Cat in the Hat?

#ChashingPhilly The Democratic National Convention completed their most important political business.

Hillary Clinton has made history or more appropriately herstory, and became the first US female presidential nominee from a major political party after the official roll call and Bernie's endorsement.

The convention's opening day was filled with drama despite the party's attempt to display unity. It apparently found its footing after Michelle Obama's take-down of the GOP nominee, followed by Bernie Sanders' forceful Clinton endorsement.

History has a way of repeating itself and the following video clips may help to bring this message home.

"See it Now" was an American newsmagazine and documentary series introduced to viewers by CBS TV. The program aired from 1951 to 1958. It was created and anchored by Edward R. Murrow and produced by Fred W. Friendly.

Murrow warned TV viewers not to confuse dissent with disloyalty. You can watch it now, or lament it later.

Negative GOP Rhetoric

Submitted by Admin on

#ChasingCleveland The Donald's speech made no specific references to hope, spoke very little about freedoms, and only offered a scary Trump version of reality, which was at times opposing the Republican Party political platform.

At times, his fiery speech sounded paranoid, and as usual very short on specifics. America is not in decline and those watching said he sounded like a banana republic dictator

DEMOCRAZY?

#ChasingCleveland tonight because it's the night for The Republican Party to unify under two candidates who are acting like its a newly formed bromance, just because there appear to be too many issues dividing the GOP.

The Donald takes center stage as Republicans hold their collective breath as they outline the series of challenges, many of their own pole bearer's making.
