Ukraine is Terminal for Trump

After the Mueller Report was made public, I did not think impeachment was the way to go.  Trump would not be convicted, and it was a political loser.  Almost certain to help Trump in the 2020 election.  The Ukraine situation is much different.  It is an egregious offense and Americans and Congress can not let…

The Summer of Democratic Candidates

This summer is it.  The field of 23 Democratic candidates will become a handful of legitimate candidates.  Here is my take on where they stand, and what the summer has in store for them.
