This from Fox News

They (Republicans) are seeing what we’re seeing. There are gigantic chunks of Republicans who are done with Trump. And that’s what’s going to make the difference in November. Now that Super Tuesday is over, the stage is officially set. In November, it’s America or Trump. And Trump may have bitten off more than he can chew. He’s not as powerful as he was in 2016, or even 2020. He’s slower, weaker, and lacking firepower. How do we know this? All you have to do is look at (Republican political consultant, policy advisor, and lobbyist Karl) Rove’s whiteboard.

Sure, Trump won most of his primaries yesterday, but not by the “huge” numbers he expected. In states like Virginia and Colorado, the orange messiah could barely muster up 60 percent of the vote. Oh, and let’s not forget what happened in Vermont, where Trump was utterly and completely embarrassed by Nikki Haley, who ended up taking the state. The cherry on top? These are GOP voters who hate the leader of their own party so much that they show up to the polls just to vote against him. These are the people who have made this primary season so special. Well, for us anyways.

The past few months have made us more optimistic than we could’ve hoped, and last night was no different. The bad man is losing, and that means the pro-democracy movement is winning. We know it, the media knows it, and even The Donald himself knows it.

To put it in simple terms: he’s hurting. His support is dwindling.

This isn’t completely dissimilar to what I see here, but I would caution that there are people who voted for Nikki Haley in the primaries would will feel forced to vote for Trump in the general election in November.

There will also be those who abstain.  Here, I’m think about people like my mom: intelligent, well-educated conservatives, who, bless their hearts, have no appetite for criminal sociopaths in the White House.

In any case, Rover brings us good news:  Trump is hurting badly.

Corporate Greed from the Consumer’s Perspective

Six months ago, our local CVS drugstore had a manager, a handful of employees answering customers’ questions, checking them out at the cash register, stocking shelves, etc.

Last month, I noticed that most of these employees were gone, and the former manager was now stocking shelves. I also noted long lines of customers waiting for an automated checkout machine to become available.

Last week, I saw the former manager working at a nearby grocery store.

Also, the pharmacy is now closed for an hour for lunch.  When I asked about this, I was asked, “Don’t you think we employees deserve to eat lunch?” I responded, “Of course I do. But can’t CVS afford to staff the pharmacy so customers are not inconvenienced?”

This is certainly not a unique–or even rare–occurrence; it seem that CVS is like most large corporations, driven by cost-cutting, while abusing their employees and their customers.

Honesty in Politics Is Rare

Barack Obama read the actual GOP agenda to a roaring Atlanta crowd Wednesday: a $1 trillion tax cut for millionaires and billionaires, paid for with higher health care costs and Medicaid cuts. Plus a war in Iran that everyone warned would push prices up. “(Democrats will) ban hamburgers and make everybody eat tofu,” he joked.
This is certainly not the only baseless assertion one hears today. I love this one: Democrats will bring you the freedom of North Korea and the affluence of Cuba.  I suppose this is what happens in political rhetoric, especially when it’s addressed to our country’s least educated people.
In actual fact, Democrats, if empowered to do so, will bring you the affluence, healthcare, and education level of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rica, and the rest of the world’s social democracies.

The meme here makes sense–until you realize that the most productive, happiest people on Earth live in Scandinavia and the other social democracies scattered around the globe.

Providing everyone with the opportunity to succeed seems to work quite well in the real world.
