like an IPAD when things get better. I have a Samsung tablet which is pretty good and a couple of kindles but because of the ongoing war between google and Amazon, you can't get Libby (such a great app) or a number of other apps on Kindle. I had to jump through all sorts of hoops to get play store on my last Kindle. I also downloaded Hoopla on Roku and use the Cuyahoga Library in Cleveland ( but you can use other local libraries) to watch 30 movies a month for free...there are some good titles too.

Mar 2020

I'm reminded of the TV gag where the loser of a "best two out of three" coin-toss makes a demand to change the rules to "okay, how about: best three out of five".

The reason it's funny on the TV show is because it shows that the loser who wants to change the rules AFTER THE FACT is someone who lacks integrity but believes that nobody notices and it's a character who somehow believes that he (or she) is "deserving" or more opportunities beyond that upon which was originally agreed. It also plays to comedic effect because the loser shows the audience an irrational belief that somehow he (or she) will manage to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat if he (or she) can somehow manage to defy the odds and get three consecutive wins that will miraculously satisfy the new conditions of the challenge.

Trump is incapable of debating. He won't debate Biden. Anyone who thought Biden would falter in a debate with Sanders isn't remembering the wreckage of 2012 - Paul Ryan.

Trump stalked Hillary around that stage. It was a physical statement of dominance. "Don't be getting weird and creepy on me!" was the appropriate response. Would have had every woman in America understanding in a very deep way indeed.

His ego is more important than the good of the country. This is the same scorched earth policy he had in 2016. Just like a child and much like the maniac-in-chief, if he can’t win them he wants them all to lose. This is precisely why I stopped supporting him in 2016. He does not care about what’s really good for this country and that automatically disqualifies him for any leadership position.

And it’s the right thing to do. He is mathematically out of the race, and taking this to the convention will not gain him the votes he needs. All it will do is allow his nastier campaign leaders to create Republican talking points to use against Biden in the general.

Please, Bernie, do the right thing and get your supporters on board to help elect Biden. We, and this country, cannot survive another four years of Trump.

Biden did very well in his last debate compare to debates of past. Sanders was not so prepared at the last debate because he thought he was winning at all debates. They had a chance to study the one-on-one and figure out Biden's weaknesses and they want one to make Biden look bad. The debate will only help to weaken support for Bide and split the DNC. I'm very upset with BS for extending this on the off chance he gets anymore votes. His ego is big.
