They've chopped down cherry trees and waged full-on war. Riding the highs and lows of the leaders who've tried to Make America Great Again.
Black Votes, Not Trump Votes
The Democratic nominee for 2020 should work hard for black voters and not at all for Trump voters. The latest poll from Iowa shows former Vice President Joe Biden in the lead for the Democratic nomination for president. It's still very early, and this result is likely a function of name recognition. After Obama, Biden is the most famous Democrat in the country. He did just spend two terms as vice president to Obama, who gets criticized from both sides, but did win election twice and so was a successful president on that score.

Watch Kamala Harris. Now Keep Watching
Don’t fall asleep on Kamala Harris. The Democratic California senator, who jumped out front as a declared candidate for the presidency, has been quietly going about her business since her splashy Oakland campaign rollout in January, when Harris both announced her candidacy, and set the emotional bar for the campaign–a deft blend of ebullience and duty–that no other Democrat in the race has matched yet.

The President Is Tired—or Tiring
A recent story indicates that Trump's campaign staff is worried about the 2020 reelection effort because the candidate, at 72, is starting to show his age and is tired. His campaign realizes that he has lost a lot of support in some of the states that helped him win in 2016, and worries that he may not have the energy for campaigning that he mustered that time.

Feelings Trump Death
In the planning stages, this was going to be a satirical article about Donald Trump and how Senator John McCain hurt his feelings. Yet, during the course of research, it became evident that the premise of the article was real and true. In a press conference, Trump admitted that his continued attacks on the beloved, late senator are because McCain hurt his feelings and 'betrayed' him. It's like an article from The Onion has come to life and running the country or pretending to.

Three Democrats Who Could Defeat Trump
Several Democrats have officially announced that they will be running for the candidacy of their party. The party needs interior changes after Hilary Clinton’s defeat in 2016 to a non-political candidate. As well as being a surprise defeat, it was a defeat which undermined the party moving forward after two successful terms in power with Barack Obama. The way forward for the party is new faces and a fresh political view. At this point in time, it is unclear just who Americans will see on their voting cards next to President Trump.

FDR: Overcoming Illness to Rebuild a Nation
Franklin Delano Roosevelt will always be fondly remembered as the President who pulled the United States out of the Great Depression and led them into war to prevent the spread of fascism. Furthermore, he did this whilst suffering from health issues that made almost all of his adult life a struggle.

2020
With the United States government in complete polarization between both parties, the wheels of progress have almost come to a complete halt. In a bygone era when just compromise was inevitable, the wheels of progress rolled right along. Sure, there were bumps along the way, but none so high as to stop the way. Now, as we head toward 2020, much has to be done, not only to secure a better future, but to make sure there is a future.

The Perfect POTUS!
Well, folks, it's that time of year. No, it is not baseball season. It is not Super Bowl season. It is time when people who breathe the same air as we do decide that they want to run for the highest office in the world. No, it is not as chairman of Microsoft. It is time for some people to declare their candidacy for President of the entire United States.

Nancy Pelosi Is Second, Not Third, in Line for the Presidency
My wife Tina called my attention to a funnily annoying meme last night: Commentators on MSNBC keep saying that Nancy Pelosi (as Speaker of the House) is "third in line for the Presidency." I just heard Stephanie Ruhle and Malcolm Nance say that.

The GOP Under Hoover and Trump
When Trump was first elected on November 8th of 2016, parallels from the left and from chaosticians alike began to circulate literally overnight referencing the similarities between Trump and Hitler. Memes, tweets and Facebook posts abound about the disaster that Trump would be. The prospects of world peace and a stable global economy seemed more intangible than ever. We felt on shaky ground, some of us for the first time.
