Saturday Morning Halloween Rant

++Hillary Clinton is to be endorsed today by the Longshoremen's Union. ACFSME,the AFT and the NEA have already endorsed her. Which says something about the Sanders' campaign.

++Last night Rachel Maddow did a segment on Marco Rubio having the worst record of any Senator on casting votes. That's not all,he also has the worst record for attending committee hearings and intelligence briefings. Rachel pointed out that Rubio while being majority leader in the Florida legislature skipped out on the major vote for the state's economy in order to watch a Florida Marlins'game. 

++The Sun Sentinel came back after the debate to say that Rubio didn't address their request to resign. Rubio had said that he laughed at the popper because they were just repeating Democratic talking points. Turns out as the Sun-Sentinel reminded their readers they had endorsed Rubio in 2010 and Mitt Romney in 2012.

++President Obama may have gone down the rabbit hole by ordering less than 50 Special Operations forces to Syria to work with the Kurds. The Kurds had told the United States they only wanted arms and their goal is to consolidate control over the Kurdish portions of the country and not attack ISIS' capital. This marks the 140th country where we have on-going special operations. This lunacy has to stop if we can ever have a sane debate on foreign policy in this country.

++It should be clear by now Hillary Clinton is a hawk,a much smarter hawk than any Republicans. She supported President Obama's decision.

++The Democratic Left has been throwing everything they can at Hillary --from the archives of the Democratic Leadership Council to her statement she was opened to extended the age requirement for Social Security. The more gnarly attacks were from the LGBT community on whether her remarks on the Rachel Maddow interview were true. Buzzfeed documented how they were not. 

++For some on the Left,Hillary's lack of purity bothers them. This raises my concerns about the practicality of the Left as we are confronted enormous forces of reaction.

++My last observation is that if you want a great presidential election,then you should root for the Donald against Bernie Sanders. But don't think America's Better Angels will rise from the dead. 

++I'm not sure Black Lives Matter disrupting both rallies of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders wins friends and helps defeat enemies. BLM has managed to secure the support of white liberals and churches but it risks everything by engaging in these tactics which fuel the Right and alienate sympathetic white supporters.

++Isn't it curious that we have not seen a Republican poll since the debate?

++The GOP presidential campaigns are gathering in Washington to beat up on Rinse Penis for his management of the debate schedule. Rinse cancelled the February debate with NBC and Telemundo because CNBC had been unfair in asking tougher questions on the candidates. 

++I find that all very strange. This was the network that started the Teabaggers and the moderators were at least two known conservatives. As Harry Truman said,"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."

++Daylight Savings Time Ends tonight. So my depression starts and usually lasts until March.

++Happy Halloween!
