During the Feb. 19 Democratic Debate sponsored by NBC in Las Vegas, once again, the Democratic presidential candidates missed a chance to expose the incompetence, lies and abuse of power by the resident of the White House and his supporters. Instead, they fell prey to media pundits whose arrogance and unquenchable thirst for stardom steer the debate toward whose comments are more scornful. If each candidate enumerated and exposed Trump’s excesses (and there are plenty to go around) and made a case for why this man cannot remain as the most influential world leader, perhaps more Americans would care and show up to vote on Election Day.
Or, if each candidate exposed Trump’s Republican accomplices in the Senate, who are ignoring the nearly 400 bills House Democrats have passed, perhaps those who insist in repeating that Washington is broken would realize that Washington is being sabotaged.
Hilda - you need to be aware of the contents of those 400 bills that the Senate is not taking up. Many of them are pork barrel-laden and others restrict our democratic principles. That may come as a surprise to you but the Democrats in the House have been on a war path to destroy the essentials of our Constitution by making significant changes to House rules. You may also be interested in the superb essay from student Diana that was published today. Even I can learn from her.
FYI>The Salt Lake Tribune's editorial board voiced strong opposition to former Rep. Jason Chaffetz as the Utah Republican mulls a gubernatorial bid, writing that his "political career should be over" based on some of his statements based on what it calls his decision to cast "his lot with the cruelly xenophobic part of our culture that has turned its back on American history and common decency."

Wednesday nights debate made it obvious Trump is going to sail into his 2nd term. Nothing Trump haters can do to stop him. Winning.
Amazing! Nostradamus!
