General Discussion

I have really missed Ted since his death in 2009---
and as a romantic youth, I worked my ASS off for him in 1980--

(although I believe that Carter was DOOMED that year, even without the primary challenge---
I did take it as a 'lesson' to argue against any Democratic primary challenges against President Joe Biden---
whom I believe was the most progressive President since FDR---
the idea that a primary challenge against an incumbent president is bad electoral politics,
and has historically led to that President's general election defeat
is not lost on me---- but I think Carter would have lost anyway,
without any such challenges--- the headwinds against him were too great---
but in retrospect he seems to have been a pretty good POTUS---
ESPECIALLY against what we are faced with NOW!)



I am sure that Ted would have had MUCH to say about Diaper Don---
and WITHOUT 'pulling' any punches!!!!!!

I very much appreciated his opposition against Bush Jr's IRAQ war....
