I woke up (late) this morning and turned on the TV. What happened since I went to bed?

At that moment the market was up 300 points. Talking heads were discussing it as if the past few days were fixed. Thanks for the insight. Ugh.

Next up the races for Republican and Democratic presidential nominees. I heard no issues discussed — none. The entire conversation (a long conversation by cable news standards) was about the horse race aspect.

Will email or Bernie hurt Hillary? Will Trump allow anyone else to be noticed?

We will elect the most powerful person in the world. He/she will have the world’s largest arsenal a their disposal. Their words will move markets and shift fortunes. That’s the lede and it’s buried.

  1. The idea that this country would even consider handing that kind of power to The Donald scares me to my core! That is not the type of person that I want representing e….your Kardashein analogy was perfect on numerous levels. We desperately need someone with intelligence and integrity to step up. Gee Geoff, maybe you should be running!!!
