    2. A perfect fit for this administration, no? Or.... might he be the person assigned to try Trump's dementia defense? [OK, I'm not a nice person.]

  4. My take on a variety of posts seen today on politicalwire.com and a couple of other sites: Democratic "centrists" are beginning to panic.

    3. The way I see it, the New Dems have followed the GOP to the right and occupied their traditional real estate lo these many years.

    1. Agreed. Same is true of writing. The poems I wrote by hand, crossing out words, rewriting when lines needed to be rearranged or clarified, etc. are probably no better than those composed direct to computer screen, but they were much more satisfying.
