Yep. As much as I am certain we need a Warren or Sanders to help shorten the distance between the top and bottom, I am also certain that the GOP would label them as communists and we would lose.
So, Biden is the safe choice - unless he screws up - which he has done in the past.
What a predicament - maybe Beto or one of the female Senators.
I feel like I'm going to a football game and the coach and quarterback are missing.
A great story - The guy who protected Trump until he was elected president - you remember him? Turns out to be Jeffery's last visitor.
Nah - just wishful thinking.
This month is the 48Th anniversity since I got a bar and wings at Fort Rucker - seems like last week. Until I look in the mirror.
Take care my friend.
PS I wrote this in Vietnam during the last ten days. Being short in Vietnam makes one think - a lot.
'Soldier's Cadence'
A father's pride, a mother's delight, life progresses
Elastic hugs, warming comfort, floating dark.
Dreamy days, a mother's sounds, soft caresses.
Pushing throbbing, urgent contracting, curious lights
Quickening beats, seeking release, shoving limbs
Resonant cries, hands grasping, wondrous sights
Holding arms, stroking hands, loving sighs
Caring bosom, tender embrace, comforting words
Always soft, ever near, sleepy lula-byes
School bells, teenage trials, boyhood done
Ball grounds, puppy love, evening gowns
Studies over, manhood near, an American son
Country calls, Army braid, bugle sounds
Barracks life, dusty trails, sweaty nights
Parade grounds, graduation cheers, pride abounds.
Assignments given, War bound, stomach flutters
Nerves steeled, loved ones calmed, plane departs
Landing bounce, wings groan, prop shudders
Days blur, nights swelter, soldiers cope
Hellish sights, endless nights, chilling fear
Departure nears, date held dear, family's hope.
A rifle shot, a medic yells, a soldier falls.
Holding arms, hard embrace, fear filled sighs.
Caring hands, calming voice, death calls.
Flag draped coffin, uniform medaled, homeward bound.
Coffin lowers, salutes rendered, flag offered
A mother's broken heart, a father's anguished sound.

Still remember that last week in the "Nam'. That said, I'd rather do that again that 4 more years of Trump.
