The Scream

Joe Biden sounded like screaming Howard Dean in his overly exuberant speech last night. Google it, kids. He also confused his sister with his wife. If this is the guy to beat Trump. Good luck! Folks.

Other than that Joe surprised with wins in Minnesota thanks to Amy & Massachusetts where the far left split the vote. He swept the South. Where Trump will kill.

Meanwhile. Why is it so difficult to vote in 2020? It’s criminal. Waiting over 3 hours on line in Texas. There is no excuse. We won’t know the California results for at least a week. Ridiculous!!!!

Mini Mike tanked. He will likely leave the stage. Who will get his data machine? Lizzie should pack it in as well. The diverse Dems?

Septua Gen Zzzz

Who will win Super Tuesday? Fourteen-state cache of delegates. Or. As Sleepy Joe likes to call it – Super Thursday. Prediction. Bloomberg gets maybe zero. That’d be a really bad return on investment. Bernie beats Amy & Lizzie in their own states. Joe picks up a bunch. But. Probably won’t remember what they are for. He still thinks he’s running for U.S. Senate. Not a joke. Folks. Give ’em to Barack!

Any which way. One old white guy will run against another in November. If they’re not all in a coronavirus quarantine in the sky.

Grand Jeté

A gracefully athletic move in ballet. Taking a leap like today. Hard to believe that Sadie Hawkins is relevant in 2020. Men typically still “propose” to women. Only on this leap day can a woman “ask” the man to marry. Equal rights and pay? Not if these traditions stay.

South Carolina primary. Will voters keep Biden in the race or continue the Bernie revolution into Super Tuesday. Bloomberg will be buying ads ’til the end either way. And. For $17m Tony Romo remains at CBS. Yay.

As coronavirus panic-demic dominates the news, it’s a good time to be an agoraphobe.

Veep Stakes

Even though no one is the Dem nom yet. VEEP predictions abound.

NYPost is floating a story that Andrew Yang is considered by Bloomberg. Cannot understand what that brings to the table. New York business guys. Yang should go for Mike’s old job as Mayor of NYC.

Kamala Harris is the current choice of media speculation to run with Biden. She kinda trashed him in a debate. Plus two Senators. And. California? That’s not a swing state. Lizzie will be lucky to win her own Massachusetts on Super Tuesday. Bernie will likely embarrass her there. Even if she puts a Castro on the ticket.

And Bernie? As he said it won’t be an old white guy. Oh the frenzy if he could pick AOC. But. He can’t. So. We’ll see.

Signs of the Times

Two lawn signs. Same house. Hatfield, Massachusetts. May 2016. When I saw them I said, Stop! We have to get a shot of this.

A woman opened the front door with her toddler as we pulled over to take the photo. Told us her husband was Trump. She Bernie. Asked us if we thought they’d still be married after the election.

Turned out Bernie got aced out by Hillary at the Convention that year. Will it be different in 2020? Horizontal class structure. Not vertical political parties. A rural New England couple seems to have forecasted what was coming in this country.

Russian Delusion

When all else fails. Blame Russia. Pre-emptive excuse for Trump’s inevitable re-election. It’s those Ruskies again. Yup. Boris & Natasha Badenov go to Trump rallies with all of their comrades. They dress up as deplorables. They also stand in line for hours in rain & snow to vote.

But. Hey. Russians are reportedly also helping Bernie. The true believer. This cartoon just keeps drawing itself.

Four Old White Guys

Seems that’s what we’re left with. Four old white guys. Trump is the youngest of the group at 73.  Biden, Bernie, Bloomberg all late 70’s. Pushing 80. Yikes. No women. No youth. No color in the supposedly diverse Dem party. But. Bernie is the darling of the kids. Young Pete is lagging yet popular with the geezer set. Makes no sense.

Trump has Pence as VP. Old white Dems should consider Stacey Abrams. Young. African-American. Woman. Born in Wisconsin. Served as House leader in Georgia. Runs a voting rights and census organization. Smart.

Speaking of old white guys. Laugh of the week. Larry David deflating a blow-up sex doll on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

She’s Baaack

Hillary never seems to leave the stage. She had dinner with Mike Bloomberg a couple months ago in NYC, and now the leak is that he’s considering her for VEEP.  No!  But. Maybe he’s taking a page from Trump’s troll playbook. When people start criticizing him for past women or criminal justice issues, throw out a crazy shiny object to distract the press. It works. Plus. Hillary’s a woman.

If Mike really does choose the old baggage as his running mate, though. He’s dead to me.

Bon Hiver

So far a dreary gray warm season. Today clear crisp sunny and cold. Finally feels like winter. Without the snow. Also it’s dreaded Valentine’s Day. Hardly knew it was coming this year. Mike Bloomberg’s ads are so frequent they’ve taken over the airwaves. So. No pajama-gram or teddy bear spots. Yay. And. It’s his birthday. I know. Obsessed.

In other good news. Ray Donovan is resurrected from cancellation to have a finale. Plus. Tiger is playing in his own tournament. Pretty well.

Magic Mike

Leave your hats on. No tear-off chaps. Mini-Mike has his own magic. Lots and lots of cash. Street smarts. Success in private and public sectors. But. Delusional Democrats who profess to care only about beating Trump are writing, and heckling, and scorning his stop-and-frisk and red-lining history. Okay. Maybe some of his words were untoward.

If Bloomberg doesn’t pass the purity test, who’s left? Sorry guys. If he’s not perfect enough you’ll get 4 more years of Trump.
