Not one Republican in that gigantic field is capable of seriously addressing climate change and all the challenges coming with it, Wall Street reform, income inequality, a national religious "cold war" of choice, nuclear threats, deteriorating infrastructure and real national security. Plus a dozen other ongoing issues and the ones you didn't see coming.

Today I'm fearful of voter suppression and a turned off electorate. A very bad combo.

(I realize this is somewhat off topic, but it's gnawing at me 24/7. Sorry.)
