Last Thursday and Friday the main topic of discussion was the Democrat Presidential Candidate Debate. The general consensus at the kaffe klatch was that Donald Trump was the winner. The main reason for that conclusion was the lack of any person of Presidential timbre on the stage.
Joe Biden had his best moment so far as he took on the radical Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. His question to them was about how do you pay for all these far-out programs? Warren was quick to respond by saying that she would tax the wealthy individuals and corporations. Wild-eyed Sanders gave his usual pie in the sky response.
One wag at the table perhaps summed it up best when he said, “It looked like the Three Stooges were joined by the Seven Dwarfs on stage.”
Whatever slim chance Beto O’Rourke had he effectively shot himself in the foot when he screamed out, “We are coming to take your guns.” At one point in the evening, Beto looked like he was angling for the Vice-Presidential nomination as he praised Biden effusively.
Following the debate, Cory Booker reaffirmed what he had said on the stage about Biden’s ability to get the job done. His quote was, “I don’t know if Joe can carry the ball over the goal line without fumbling.”
Also shooting himself in the foot was candidate Castro when he savaged Biden about a supposed remark Biden had made two minutes earlier. On the replay it was shown that Castro was wrong about what Biden had said. Castro tried to clean up the situation on Friday but only dug himself a deeper hole.
Kamala Harris, who had her best moment at a previous debate when she called Biden out, seems to have slipped in the ratings and appeared rattled on stage. Her jokes fell flat, and she was the only one who laughed at them.
Whether she knows it or not, Senator Warren comes across the TV tube as a very rattled person. It is said that she is now consorting with Hillary Clinton. Who better than Hillary to give advice on how to run a winning campaign. Perhaps the main reason Warren sought out Hillary is because she (Warren) was widely criticized for her dance movements at an event that was televised. At that event Warren looked like Gumby. Hillary has done some jivey dancing and drinking when she was out of the country years ago. Hillary most recently was in Venice where she read her famous emails to a rapt audience. What wasn’t reported was whether or not she read any of her famously deleted emails that she scrubbed after they were subpoenaed.
Mayor Pete, who is now being called St. Peter, gave his usual trite stump speech. He is the young candidate who is Mayor of South Bend, and he is having trouble running that small town. Recently St. Pete used the Bible to rationalize abortion. His most famous statement was that a baby’s life begins when he takes his first breath. His remarks drew some ire from his brother-in-law on his husband’s side. The brother-in-law happens to be a minister.
As for Amy Klobuchar, she seemed like a voice of reason amid the wild socialist ideas that many of the other candidates espoused. Her best moment was when she corrected Bernie Sanders who is actually a communist in socialist clothing.
When it comes to bloviating, Senator Booker has no peer. Most of his answers were long and unrealistic.

I don’t know if they realize it or not, but President Trump is doing a great job of manipulating the left wing media. He is like a skillful Matador as he faces the press in the form of a raging bull which he deftly dodges at every charge. As the drive-by media seeks to analyze Trump’s latest move, he is already working on the next item that they are forced to cover. Latest indication of this is the CNN anchor who now has been corrected by no less than the CIA on stories he spouted out.
While California Governor Newsom is quite happy roiling about his State which is chaotic to say the least, President Trump has sent a fact-finding delegation to the once Golden State to see what can be done about the horrible conditions in many of its major cities.
