Mr. Robot and the Angry Moderates In the last debate before the new year, all the fireworks centered around Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Mr. Robot once again demonstrated he is well prepared. Too prepared. He begins to look more like a robot than a genuine candidate. I like it when the moderates go to war. It enhances the chance that a progressive for once will win.

Education Reform in the Age of Trump In the wake of the election of Donald Trump, national education reform must be considered a means to establish a more educated and socially responsible electorate. The charter school movement as a means to teach magical thinking should be stopped.

Road to the White House: Warren Takes the Heat The field finally took dead aim at the leader of the pack: Senator Elizabeth Warren. Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Senator Amy Klobuchar led the charge in the effort to replace former VP Joe Biden as the leader of the moderates. Warren fended off the attacks well enough but she will have to answer the recurring question regarding funding for Medicare for All better and more succinctly.

The man who laundered Russian propaganda and helped target the decisive voters in the 2016 election or the woman who created the Consumer Protection Agency?

Road to the White House: The Winnowing By the third debate the field had been narrowed to ten candidates. In reality only five candidates have any hope of winning the right to oppose Donald Trump. While the Democratic establishment has begun to target Warren, she remains strong as the "younger" alternative to Bernie.

The Great Disappearance: People I Wish Would Go Away & Why As an observer of the news I have become aware of a growing number of political figures I wish would go away.
