2020 Presidential Candidates

[JaneV2.0]

Everyone has an identity--with luck, more than one. Of course it plays into all kinds of choices in life. I'll never get why that's a big deal to some.

Right. I'd rather evaluate the candidate based on their character, record, and positions.

Everyone ready for Trump's 4th of July parade?

Like the republicans say these days, better red than dead.

I had written a post yesterday about how I have found that Trump supporters love him because they perceive that he is a "true patriot," but there's such a fine line between patriotism and nationalism--then I deleted it. Then I saw that he is celebrating the 4th with military tanks, so I'm back to rewriting that people think that Trump is a true patriot, but there's a fine line between patriotism and nationalism. One is fine and the other crosses the line.

I thought he stood out in the debates. I could care less about sexual orientation. It is not relevant IMO.

Surprise! I agree with you - his sexual orientation is completely irrelevant. My point is that it is however historic for a married and out gay man to be running for the highest office in the land in the first place. I totally understand that just because he's gay does not mean that he automatically would make a good President. Granted and given. Rob

come now, it is a hard name to spell and to pronounce as well, apparently. We knew who Rob meant.

Thank You, IL. Rob

As usual, the Mexican Flag will be displayed in my yard on July 4th this year....somehow this year it seems even more important to do so - to fly the Mexican flag. I guess after the tariff threat to this country's largest trading partner (Mexico eclipsed Canada as the largest US trading partner as of April 2019) it's just human nature. Rob

Compared to most of the USA most of Mexico is a poverty stricken, crime-filled third world country.

Why not fly the American flag upside down?

I really should get a Cascadia flag; maybe a Canadian one would do.
