Everybody Acts Their Brains Are Fried

++Maybe it's just me but the political blogs act like we are under a heat wave and everyone has lost their senses.

++Yes, Trump shock up his campaign . No it's not going to show immediately. He gave wider authority to Paul Manafort and hired Scott Walker's campaign manager. The big squeal is that the older hands will be push to lesser role. What do you expect when Trump has assumed front-runner role without an organization. Things had to change. 

++Nate Silver has changed his California prediction and gives Trump a 55% chance of winning, Cruz is a close second. 

++Since everyone is in the Trash Trump department now, don't be surprised he he goes on a run starting tomorrow night. First New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware and possibly Rhode Island.  I don't see him getting less than 1,100 delegates and polls show that Republicans believe the person with the most popular votes--Trump--and secondly the majority of delegates should win the nomination.

++As if buying into the anti-Trump drumbeat, Mitch McConnell is "optimistic" that the GOP will have a contested convention. What's to be optimistic about?  The choices are loathsome.

++Democrats are picking up new candidates for House seats. But I have noticed that the good fortune anticipated by Cook and Larry Sabato has not translated into bucks and certainly not new messaging.

++Oh, and the GOP is close to having a replacement to Obamacare. The destruction of American goes along even though the Republican Party is collapsing.President Obama's immigration policies are under the gun at SCOTUS in a case brought by 26 Republican Senators. With an 8 person court,it is a momentous decision but I can't take it seriously without a full court.

++President Obama threatened to veto the 9-11 bill because government sponsors of terrorism can be held legally responsible for those acts. Saudi Arabia has threatened to sell about $1 trillion in assets if the bill goes through. The only paper which is covering this is the New York Post on a daily basis. The emails I get are from conservatives who now want the 26 pages of the 9-11 report declassified. Forget about George W. Bush, Obama is covering up. And, quite frankly,he is. He is supposed to leave for Saudi Arabia next week.

++Hillary now is being called a moderate Republican--something I used to call President Obama. She is also a corporatist. Ok,but that seems to be everybody's crime.
But Hillary does have to out this away soon.
