But even though his heart was in the right place, I really didn't feel he had the vigor, experience or political mojo to mount an effective defense against the creeping wave of fascism that is sweeping over this country, of which your man Cruz is the leading edge. Hillary did have the required ju-ju, for the precise reasons you mentioned, but by the next election she will be too old to run. Now that I'm approaching the Biblical three score and ten, I sincerely believe that is too old to run for President. I know I am not hitting on all 8 cylinders any more, and I suspect few others of that age are, regardless of their politics. The last thing America needs is another Reagan sleepwalking his way through a second term.

Actually, Trump may turn out to be the best thing that could have happened to this country, because the backlash against him may finally pave the way for a True Progressive like Liz Warren. I hope she will run in 2020, if we have an election at all.

If Trump, or his replacement, (I'm concerned he may be forced to resign for health reasons or he will be repealed and replaced by his own party for being insufficiently fascist) manages to get re-elected in 2020 then I really think this country is finished, unless you are in good standing in the ownership caste.

I want no part of a new Gilded Age.
