Americans are currently making choices from among a cranky old man, a crude bigoted billionaire, a smart woman;who will Americans choose?
Historically, a woman has never been America's choice for president. I remember when Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton were battling it out for the democratic nomination, I felt sure that given the choice, between a black relatively inexperienced man and a white woman with the impressive credentials Hilary Clinton had, that for sure she would win. I was sadly mistaken and came to the conclusion that perhaps Americans are not comfortable with a woman as president regardless of ethnic background.
I look at the choices that are left and wonder who will Americans choose for President. Would they choose the bombastic billionaire Donald Trump with more skeletons in his closet than a cemetery? What about Bernie Sanders? He has a huge support among young people including women even though he often comes across like a cranky old man with Utopian socialist ideals. Remind me, are there any socialist governments left in the world? But these two men, Trump and Sanders, seem to be quite popular and have the ability to seriously impede the lone woman's chance for the White House.
When the dust settles, who will Americans prefer to see take the office of President? Is the thought of a woman in the highest office in America so incomprehensible? Will the glass ceiling continue to be a mirage?
A down to earth commentary on the rediculous, the irritating and the outragous in the arena of politics and issues today. When political actions and words make you want to say "what?"

When Donald Trump announced his bid for the Presidency in 2015, he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that he knows Oprah and wants her as his running make. Both celebrities, they do have a lot in common. Since Oprah campaigned with Barack Obama It is hard to picture her as a Republican running mate. However, since Donald Trump is not seen as a "true" Republican, the two may well be a match made in heaven. And while Oprah Winfrey may not be of the same political persuasion as Donald Trump, the smell of power can be a stronger lure than money. When you have more money than you can spend, power - like the presidency or the vice presidency sure sounds good. Read More

Carly Fiorina is a former Republican contender for the presidential nominee and a former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard.

North America, including Canada and the US, is seriously lacking female presidents. In other continents, Europe, South America and Asia, Women presidents are nothing new. Indira Gandhi was president of India serving two terms and becoming the longest serving Prime Minister of India after her father.

Could the best man for the job of president be a woman? READ MORE

Bernie Sanders taking a page out of Trump's book?
Is Bernie Sanders taking a page out of Trump's book? Or is he just being a crotchety old man. Whatever it is Bernie Sanders appears to be more Trump like in the last few days.Sanders thought Hilary Clinton said that he was not fit to be president. She didn't but did he check it out? No. Instead he responded tit for tat just like Trump did when he thought Ted Cruz was behind a commercial featuring a naked Melanie Trump. Read More

If there is a crime there is punishment - Donald Trump was right according to Republican views
Donald Trump was right when he said there should punishment for women for the "crime" of abortion. While I vehemently disagree with this view, Trump is simply saying what Ted Cruz and the rest of the far right Republican party are afraid to say out loud.
All Republicans believe that abortion is a crime and are working diligently to get a woman" right to choose outlawed. If they succeed in reversing the current law where abortion is not illegal and make it illegal then it becomes a crime and both the providers and the recipients will be guilty under the law. Whether you steal or receive stolen goods you are guilty of a crime. There is no way the Republicans will be able to create a law that punishes only one party to a crime.
Ted Cruz came out against punishing women for abortion yet his Anti-Choice coalition "Pro Lifers for Cruz" is led by extremists
Troy Newman is head of a radical anti-choice group "Operation Rescue" who argues in his book that women who have abortions should be treated like murderers. READ THE FULL STORY
There is a sinister plot in place by Republicans to ensure that Obama's nomination to the supreme court stalls. The next president will be in a position to appoint not one but 3 supreme court justices, who will have reached the age of retirement, which would make it possible to reverse number of laws including those related to abortion and gay rights.
Donald Trump has no filter, he just says it as it is: If abortion becomes illegal, women will be arrested, jailed fined, hunted down, physically removed from the abortion table. If you see a crime what do you do? Prevent it and punish. This is the true belief of the Republican party.
