First-in-the-Nation Primary

Fifteen minutes after the November elections, the campaigning will start with a vengeance here.  It came around so fast I didn't notice. There has already been stealth campaigning and lining up allies, probably starting fifteen minutes after the last election. Candidates pretend to be just wandering around looking for moose and eating in diners. They speak at Rotary clubs and business organisations about favorite causes. Oh wait. You guys are having the primary up here sometime, right? (Facepalm) I had completely forgotten that.

November 6th at midnight the mask comes off.  I don't think Republicans are going to be running against Trump, even if they can't stand him.  So it will be wall-to-wall Democrats, whose main theme will be how much they hate Trump even more than the others.

I want to put up signs at the borders and at the airport

ATTENTION DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY CANDIDATES

 WE KNOW YOU HATE TRUMP

WE GET THAT

TELL US SOMETHING ELSE
