The attacks will be about her race, her gender and that she is a socialist(which she is not). Hell they will prolly just call her a commie. They can't call her a "muslim". This is all they have. This is all they've ever had.

Meanwhile, their candidate can't even speak coherently, is now the one falling asleep on cameraand has Zero ability to pivot in order to attract more voters.

But I lost my beloved pup last year at age 16 and I'd had him since he was 5 months old. So my friend offered me a cat, her daughter adopts cats but cat #2 was afraid of this one, cat #3, hid on a shelf in the bathroom. And he reminded me so much of the first pet I loved, the cat that my grandmother had who my uncle - who was away at school - had since he was a kitten. And this cat has worked out so well, he knows his name and is incredibly friendly - and is now pretty spoiled.

So I totally get that vibe.

Me... I'm not a pet person. However, I did collect (or did he select me?) a plush Kangaroo "toy" back in 2004 in Sydney. And since then, he (Skippy- NOT A PET) has traveled the world with us. If I was confronted with all the (WTF) travel photos, I would quietly shy away, However, it must be stated - Skippy is NOT A PET! - but has gifted a lifetime of hilarious memories.

We all need something like this (pet or not pet) . It helps us get through the tough times.

He's been everywhere with me, summer camp, all my schools and even overseas. He's chartreuse cat named Louis. And the very first cat I ever loved who I got to visit at my grandmother's was named Skippy.
