Bowing to the Inevitable
It feels like 1968. The whole world is watching. Again. Five minutes into the June 27 American presidential debate, it was obvious Joe Biden was showing signs of his age. For the good of the country, he needed to withdraw his candidacy. He and his family seemed to be the only ones who didn’t understand […]
In His Own Words
Did you watch Donald Trump’s speech to the Republican National Convention Thursday night? Neither did I. It isn’t that I didn’t want to hear what he has to say. I was curious as to the tone in the wake of last week’s assassination attempt. But I write speeches for a living. Listening to Donald Trump […]
After The Shots
There’s so much to ay about the attempt to assassinate Donald Trump on Saturday – and I’m not going to say any of it. Except hat I am surprised it hasn’t happened sooner. And I am glad the attempt failed. I dislike a lot about Donald Trump, but if he is what the American people […]
The Choice
Joe Biden says he will not step down. He is remaining in the race for President of the USA, and will be the Democratic Party nominee. Americans now have two choices: Biden, who is showing his age (81), or Donald Trump, who could have a complete mental breakdown and no-one would notice, given how erratic […]
It’s Time To Go
Dear Joe, I hate that I feel I have to write you this letter, but you need to hear the truth, and it seems you need to hear it from multiple sources. I want to thank you for your years of dedication and public service. In 2020 you were probably the only Democrat who could […]
Who Needs Trump?
As Canada celebrates it’s 157th birthday today, thoughts are still turning to the American presidential election and its potential influence on our political future. The missing word from the June 27 US presidential debate was Canada. Neither candidate mentioned America’s neighbor to the north. We Canadians are used to being ignored by American politicians. Most […]
7 More Debate Takeaways
Joe Biden and Donald Trump faced off against each other Thursday night in the first US Presidential debate of 2024. Did you watch? Did anything said change your mind about the men and their candidacies? Yesterday I mentioned a few tings that struck me. Today a few more. Tomorrow and the day after that I […]
7 takeaways from the Presidential Debate
Donald Trump and Joe Biden (or should that be Joe Biden and Donald Trump?) squared off in the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle. So much has been said since Thursday, but I wanted to let the dust settle a little to see what I thought of the notes I took while the […]
No Clinton This Time
On this Flashback Friday we return to a post from June 28, 2016. Remember Brexit? It seems like so long ago. In the USA Donald Trump was challenging Hillary Clinton for the presidency, and all the experts said Clinton would win. She should have, but her team and party got complacent. Can you see that […]
Will It End Tonight?
They aren’t even officially nominated by their parties as presidential candidates, but you could argue that tonight’s U.S. presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is make or break time for both men. For Trump, it is an opportunity for a reset. His recent publicity has been mostly bad. Felony convictions really don’t help […]
