Corroded Pretty Pennies

"Dear Brothers and Sisters," a proselytizing Sanders email generated from my involvement with Obama for America, unfortunately

If it comes down to a choice between Trump and Hillary, Howard Gutman was fairly confident, in his analysis, that Hillary prevails by three points, which would mean the electorate cements Barack's legacy and gives the Clintons one more crack at the helm. I loathe both front running brands, if we want to contextualize the fame of both contenders in that manner, but if Donald apologizes to Pope Francis, and I'm able to cast a ballot, I simply cannot return to the Clintons. If it is Rubio and Clinton, I simply won't vote; not a matter of questioning Rubio's credentials. The Senator has a book, financial extensions, raises valid points about the quiet minority of immigrants who are on the Visa applicant list, and so what?

Given a choice, the public knows the Clintons, and presumes they will keep the country steady at the helm. If somehow Sanders manages to draw blood and then it's him and Trump, then maybe my vote matters, and I'd have to go with the bombastic charlatan, if he apologizes to the Pope. One might be critical of the Argentine's leftist leanings, but he is the Vicar of Christ, the head of state, and I demand respect for the prince of the Church, however hard and dark I might be.


On the chance that Bloomberg does enter the race, his track record as an executive has already sold itself, and I'd possibly advocate for his candidacy. I do not always agree with his command decisions, but at least he makes them, and offers his constituency a supporting rationale. Both as a writer and an advocate, my failure has been one of local indifference, because what goes on at the lowest rung is the most primal, and I regret it, since the Commonwealth's rust belt status conveys a certain truism about dilapidation, never quite conscious of the fact, until recently that City Council is merely the cabal out of whom lesser forces spring. Rendell became mayor because he was DA, because Goode literally torched his own fortunes. Nutter became mayor against Street's collusion, and became a no blame minority nanny. Kenney looks like a half-witted superintendent, and this doesn't bode well for the city, I fear. Does the First Amendment trump FCC regulatory authority? Doubtlessly not, as the commissioners are terrified of the decency legion.
