Clicks Up...

An MSNBC guest is getting heat online after saying during a segment on the network that "many people" consider Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle to be "five clicks up from trailer trash."
According to BuzzFeed News, the moment came during journalist Victoria Mather's appearance on "MSNBC Live" on Saturday morning.
She had been sharing her position on Markle and Prince Harry's recent visit to England, months after the two announced they would be stepping back from some of their duties as members of the royal family.
"I think what has really, really upset the British public is that Meghan Markle, who many people consider as only, you know, five clicks up from trailer trash, has actually tried to disrespect the queen," she said at one point during the appearance.

Italy’s prime minister ordered the complete lockdown of some 16 million people in the country’s coronavirus-plagued north  including the cities of Venice and Milan  in a draconian health measure expected to be approved by legislators later in the day.
The quarantine ordered by Guiseppe Conte effects ten million living in the Lombardy region another 6 million living in 14 provinces; it bars anyone from entering or leaving except for “undeferrable work needs or emergency situations” until at least April 3.
Cinemas, theaters, dance schools, bingo halls and pubs will also be closed — but restaurants will stay open if they can provide seating that keeps a distance of one meter, or a little over a yard, between customers.
The measure was due for a vote as Italy logged at least 5,883 infected patients and 233 deaths. Only two countries have been hit harder by the coronavirus: Mainland China, which has 3,097 deaths, and South Korea, which has 50 deaths.

Political Cartoon U.S. Michael Bloomberg DNC democratic primaries 2020 election campaign finance

Bloomberg enter the race for the president of the USA for a reason. At the time when he decided to enter, Joe Biden was not expected to go any where. Then left in the field are the militants, socialists and the forces of destruction.

Accordingly, Mike was willing to spend some money to correct the lopsided levels.

Yet, all of a sudden, Joe Biden came back, or the voters ran away from the other's fake fantasies that been circulated without solid foundation.  So Mike is out.  Just a thought.

Style...

Many complaint tends to take on not the substance of Warren’s stated positions, but the style with which she delivers them. And it has been expressed by pundits as well as voters. 

Politico, in September, ran an article featuring quotes from Obama-administration officials calling Warren “sanctimonious” and a “narcissist.” 

The Boston Herald ran a story criticizing Warren’s “self-righteous, abrasive style.” The New York Times columnist Bret Stephens, in October, described Warren as “intensely alienating” and “a know-it-all.” Donny Deutsch, the MSNBC commentator, has dismissed Warren, the person and the candidate, as “unlikable”—and has attributed her failure to ingratiate herself to him as a result, specifically, of her “high-school principal” demeanor. “This is not a gender thing,”

Warren had something about her, apparently: something that galled the pundits and the public in a way that led to assessments of her as “condescending.” 

Warren’s “‘my way or the highway’ approach to politics,” Joe Biden argued in November, attempting to turn what might also be called principle into a liability, is “condescending to the millions of Democrats who have a different view.”

 Bernie or Biden. It's difficult to muster much more than the minimum enthusiasm needed to vote for either one.  

 They're old white guys, and there's reason to believe both are in less than optimal health condition.

Sanders had a heart attack not too long ago; Biden hasn't always appeared to be that sharp during his debating performances. It's an ongoing pastime for political observers to note how presidents seem to age quickly in office.

Biden, for instance, promises that his election will somehow bring the Republican Party to its senses  that the polarization which has defined American politics in the 21st century will somehow recede so that he can get stuff done. He is wrong.

Sanders is staking his election on a massive turnout of young voters that, so far, hasn't really materialized.  

Each man brings some unique weaknesses to the table. Biden has been in Washington, D.C., so long  nearly 50 years that he has naturally been on the wrong side of history a few times, from supporting the disastrous Iraq War to failing Anita Hill.

Sanders hints at having undemocratic tendencies: His unwillingness to provide full disclosure about his heart attacks and his praise for dictators, as is his willingness to take a different stance on the Democratic Party's nomination rules depending on what benefits him most.

Anyone...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, the progressive candidate who pumped out more than 50 policy proposals during her campaign, has suspended her presidential bid.
Warren's decision came on the heels of lackluster finishes on Super Tuesday -- including in her home state -- and in all four early states, despite putting boots on the ground earlier than most campaigns and touting one of the most organized campaigns. Her best finish was in Iowa, where she came in third. She came in fourth in New Hampshire, which neighbors her home state of Massachusetts, fourth in Nevada and fifth in South Carolina.
