I'm so behind in my blogging due to the norovirus at the Willis household.  I can't catch up with all I've missed, so I'll just make sure blogs this week are lengthier than normal.  Additionally, after many hours of googling and seeking out advice from friends and relatives, there is nothing you can do about the stomach bug.  The body expels things intentionally; so let things work their course then rehydrate (water does not have as many rehydrating properties as Gatorade or Pedialyte, so the latter is more efficient).

It's Super Tuesday and for many, including myself, this is sort of a reckoning (cue Van Halen's "Dreams").  I know it isn't the end-all-be-all however, things kind of shape up from here.  Because this is my blog and I can write what I want, lets just put on the record how much I despise Trump (and likely getting the GOP nomination).

As I get older and my views on the world have changed, I will always have an idealogic candle that will never dim.  My bleeding heart to help others in need, a desire to keep Planned Parenthood running like a southbound train and above all a more progressive view on social issues puts me in the democrat silo.

Despite my tendency to fall left, I deeply respect any person willing to run for POTUS.  It is tough to have America the Beautiful as your panel of judges.  Any politician knows that the campaign road is not a straight travel; mud is slung, words are thrown below the belt and there are curves and potholes everywhere.

When a person like Donald Trump gets put into the hopper, the rules of the game change.  He has made it abundantly clear that acting like "Mike Dexter" from "Can't Hardly Wait" is an ideal angle for getting voters; bullying, making slanderous comments and spewing at the mouth.  Debates involving Trump are more like sketches from "Saturday Night Live" and most importantly, the straw that broke my back.....  the below:

In one of the kerfuffles that sparked early (and wrong) predictions that Trump's campaign was about to implode, the Republican candidate appeared at an event in Ames, Iowa, on July 18, during which he derided Arizona Sen. John McCain as “a war hero because he was captured.”

“He’s not a war hero,” Trump said at the Family Leadership Summit, during a discussion.  “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”  The Arizona senator and 2008 GOP nominee spent 5½ years at the infamous “Hanoi Hilton,” where he was subject to repeated torture and two years of solitary confinement.

Trump almost immediately denied saying McCain was not a war hero, and then criticized the senator for not doing enough for veterans.  “If somebody’s a prisoner, I consider them a war hero,” Trump said.

Not that I was ever going to vote Republican however, I'd be more inclined to speak positively of DT if he were playing fair.  Because he went out on a limb with John McCain and made those disgusting comments, its game over in my book.  You are no longer a respectable person; you're just a coward assbag douche with bad hair and a shitload of money.

I'm on the fence for HRC and Bernie Vermont.  Both are intelligent and I think, have good intentions.  Lets be real-- a screw has to be a little loose to want to run this nation of ours.  HRC will never be able to make a Target run.  Bernie VT probably will forgo weekend trips to Stowe in the fall to see the changing leaves.
