Apologies as after re-reading my own post it conveyed a level of snark I didn't mean for it to.  Regardless of the makeup of your suburb, the taxes are still extraordinarily high.  I personally believe the myriad of deductions that were previously allowed only enabled people with the income to hire a CPA to do their taxes to prosper.  Local taxes shouldn't be deductible to the extreme from your federal taxes, regardless of where you live.  I have a hunch local municipalities will have to start to reign in their taxes after their population begins to question where their local tax dollars are going.

So looks like Biden may pick Stacey Abrams as his VP out the gate. Kudos to him for being savvy enough to know the primary. But I don’t see how she’s any more qualified than Sarah Palin, so he just hurt his chance of getting my vote.

Andrew Yang qualified for the June debates.

I hope his message is able to reach people. He’s the only one focused on the real threat.

And now half the country sees the Russian truthers have crossed a line. I’m glad to see that Cohen and Manafort’s convictions have proven to half of us the Steele dossier paid for by Clinton was a farce.

I think he had charisma, though he was no Obama. But I’m operating under the assumption the American public will vote for any sane candidate that isn’t pushing some crazy agenda that will alienate middle America. Holder could do that and could go toe to toe with Trump. Warren lacks charisma as does Harris, and they’re both pitching extreme policies. “Build the wall” isn’t an extreme position regardless of what mainstream media says. Deporting every illegal or making them all citizens is extreme.

The sad part is Biden said the truth 20 and 40 years ago in the remarks that have recently resurfaced. If he sticks to that and points out how full of shit Trump is, he wins the general by a landslide. Someone who supports the green new deal won’t survive the general.

Yea, I saw he quietly declined to run a couple weeks ago. Still think he would have been a heavyweight. Liberal, but not full retard liberal. Actually has real world experience and accomplishments, and didn’t personally prosecute thousands of minorities like Harris did. I don’t believe a white man can win the DNC primary with the exception of Biden, and even he’ll struggle. There’s a huge chasm between AOC and Connor Lamb in the DNC. Few will  be able to break that chasm.
