One of the smartest people I know is my friend Louis. He is not involved in politics, (you knew that because I said he was one of the smartest people I know). We were, however discussing politics. Louis always wants to find a reason for why things happens. So today, he told me that all those Republican candidates were going crazy. He said the real problem is that there is no smoke filled back room where the party thugs make all the decisions. He feels very strongly that the real problem is that nobody smokes anymore - let alone stogies - so it follows that there can’t be anymore smoke filled rooms where the business of politics is decided.
Now that makes more sense than Donald Trump going after a perfectly wonderful and talented Hillary aide. He knows, like he knows everything, that Huma will share top secret information with her husband, who Trump calls a pervert. That is beside the point. When did politics get so ugly that there is open season on political aides. It maybe that Trump’s many wives shared everything with him. But let’s be real. What could they all possibly have known that couldn’t be shared on the world wide web. It’s part of “there’s no there, there.” Mr. Trump should be ashamed of himself. We all know he’s a bully, and we also know that he has diathermia of the mouth. But this is what stand up attack comedians do. It is certainly not how someone who wants to be president and expects to be taken seriously behaves. Here is the reason that Hillary calls the Republicans terrorists when it comes to women. Maybe terrorists is a little strong, but Neanderthal works.
Moving on to the neat things that happen in the world of politics. Today I purchased a “Bernie” pin from a very serious Bernie supporter. He didn’t ask for money but I know what these things cost so I gave him a buck. It made him smile… and that was nice. A few minutes later I went to a new place for ice coffee, I think it’s called Grumpy Coffee. Anyway, the barista saw the “Bernie” pin and gave me the coffee gratus. She also shared the why. “I can relate to what he says. He doesn’t talk around the issues. He makes sense.” Do you think you will vote? I asked. “Absolutely and so will all my friends” Statistically, young people don’t vote. But this year is a wait and see.
I am often asked if I’m sorry I am not involved in politics anymore. Well, it’s hard not to be involved but I sure am happy I am not working on a Presidential campaign. This election year is not one in which I want to be involved. We’re just sayin’…Iris
