THE KIDS COME TO WASHINGTON AND THE POLITICIANS FLEE!

The Student March on Washington was today and the students concerned about gun violence showed up. In droves. Thousands. From all across the country. Meanwhile, the big brave chest thumping President and his impotent REPUBLICAN minions got out of town. The gun loving, NRA ass kissers couldn’t stand to face the kids who are more than all right.
Here’s the thing on these students. They will not be satisfied with half measures. They want it all in terms of changes in the usage of guns in this country. When they vote, and by the sounds of it I think they will, it will not be good for Trump and his little toy, cowardly soldiers.

MEUSER’S WORRY ABOUT SANCTUARY CITIES

9th Congressional candidate Dan Meuser is running an intriguing ad on the radio.  The former Secretary of Revenue and one time candidate in the 10th says he will be President Trump’s best cheerleaders in Congress. Now that’s not a half bad strategy for Luzerne County that gave Trump the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
But his line about sanctuary cities just does not jive with the district completely. There are those, many retirees who have no jobs to lose who think that immigration is going to be the death knell of the country. But sanctuary cities? That’s clearly for the big donors in the Republican party as well as the Trump devotees.
However there is no reason to believe any burg in the 9th is going to declare themselves a sanctuary city!

THE LEGACY OF TRUMP IN PA POLITICS

The real reason, in my opinion why Donald Trump never released his tax returns is because I believe his in cash poor. I also think that there would be information on his dubious ties to other financial entities. So I get why he wouldn’t do it.
But like most thins Trump has done, by breaking precedent, he created new ones. His refusal to release his tax returns has now emboldened others to do so. Just take a look at the three top, (well one top, the other two viable) candidates running for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. Now Scott Wagner Paul Mango and Laura Ellsworth have refused to do so too. In a state where Trump won barely, is it a good idea to emulate him in that way?

CARTWRIGHT TEAM ROCKS THOSE SIGNATURES

Matt Cartwright’s team spent the last few weeks barnstorming Northeast Pennsylvania. By meeting with people all across Lackawanna, Wayne, Pike, Luzerne, and Monroe counties it appears the 6 year Congressman is getting on the May primary ballot with 4,395 total, more than four times the number needed.

Cartwright will now b running in the 8th District.

WEST WING ACTORS RE-UNITE TO TALK ABOUT VOTING RIGHTS

Oh if only Donald Trump had watched a few episodes of the West Wing then he might just understand how to staff a White House. I thought of that when I saw this ad that brings together the actors of that iconic political show on NBC.
The cast highlights their passion for the very right to vote,. They also point out how the Republican party has done their best to make voting difficult. Here is the video:

AFRICAN AMERICAN PASTOR DESERTS TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
