Ed is a good man. Personally, I think Ed should have ran for president in '16. He's tough, and he would destroy Walker in a debate.

I like him as a radio/tv talk show host but he wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell to be elected president.

Heilman's Focus Group that's all over M$M for 2 days. I wonder why, the Donald also has zero govt. experience.

is the best qualification for the presidency, notwithstanding that government is nothing like private business (and you might question how successful Trump really is, considering that he inherited wealth in the first place and has bankrupted four companies - but that's another story). There are also people who like the fact that he has no filter and says the terrible things they are thinking. If Trump actually got the nomination - which I doubt will happen - he'll be flattened by the Democratic candidate. I wouldn't be surprised if he ran as a third party candidate because he has no real loyalty to the GOP and his ego would get such a kick out of being the spoiler.

TV entertainer with inherited wealth, bankruptcies and dubious business achievements is even being considered as a presidential candidate by the GOP, a clown the M$M is spending extraordinary time on daily and weekly. Go USA!

and don't care what subscribers do, is the general consensus. Many people have cut TV, but I wish like others they would get DISH or DIRECT TV which carry international news like BBC, Al Jazeera, RT (Russia Today), France 24 and FSTV (FREE Speech TV).

Progressive, alternative and independent *Free Speech TV Channel (FSTV) programs:

-Thom Hartmann (live call-in radio/TV program, M-F, 12-3 PM ET; Friday, 1-hr.*'Brunch with Bernie')

-Stephanie Miller
-David Pakman, Bill Press, Gay USA, Sonali News
-documentary films on current affairs, politics, climate change, the environment, food, health, 24/7 a day.

said in his wonderful msg. Hope I didn't seem blunt, too pushy about FSTV. I really see us loosing ground bit, by bit esp. with the impt. media, although the internet is vast. The hope that Bernie brings is magnificent and so many followers inspiring and determined. Tonight I viewed the Ed Show w/ replacement Michael Eric Dyson like last night; it seemed there's a slightly different tone, to be expected or maybe it's me.

'Jimmy Carter: The US is an Oligarchy..' interview 2 days ago I saw Thom H. do. Pres. Carter is 90, very sharp yet gracious and has a new book out now. Saw him debate Ford, and met him at a book signing tribute work for mother Lillian 5-6 yrs. ago.

In this OP there's also a comment, #37 with a chart of CEO to worker pay ratio in Japan, Europe, Canada, US that was very disturbing to see in real nos. although I'd heard this for several years. People must really organize and work together as Bernie and many are emphasizing now.

Sorry

In the Link I sent above on Jimmy Carter's 'Oligarchy' comment OP, the info. CHART in #37 that was staggering:



I've been trying to bring around a highly intelligent but stubborn relative about the state of the US and world. If this chart doesn't convince them, I must give up- for a while!

He can still do some great work but it won't reach as many people.

I'll follow him though.
