The endless search for Reagan lite has landed us right where we are today. I have no confidence in the media to cover anything but the horse race of politics. We are where we are today not because of votes I wanted to cast, but because of votes I had to cast. We always move to the middle against an ideological opponent that doesn’t compromise. Nixon would now be a main stream Democrat and FDR labeled a socialist. I’m feeling really old and am exhausted from saying I told you so. I looked up Biden’s health care plan starting to think about how to convince my smart, idealistic, and really well informed Bernie supporting friends that he is worth biting the bullet for. Ouch. Today, I’m too tired for this.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
