I have been so disappointed since 1984 that Jesse Jackson was not elected President that I write him into ever election.

I know someday we'll take a good seat.

But other than Jesse I voted solid Red.

You know who else was bummed about that? Charles Taylor and Foday Sankoh. Granted, when Clinton tagged Jesse to be his bagman in the 90s, they both cheered up, but the 1984 diss of Jackson was a real bummer for those two.

It would be an early Christmas if every single Democrat lost their race. One can hope!

Wow, the Republicans have not represented Guam in Congress (it's a non-voting member) since 1993--almost 40 years ago!!!

Not a bad strategy voting straight GOP when you're faced with a border crisis, a crime crisis, an inflation crisis, a demented idiot as prez (fun times!), an energy crisis, a budget crisis....Are you getting the drift yet?
That's not fair; Biden is, maybe not the greatest President but certainly in the top 10.

what?! I'd take Clinton or even Obama back before Joe. He is just a walking meme, waving and smiling, a 'filler' President. I wouldn't even count him in the running.

What has he done?

Just so many things, too many too list. Also, he is an eloquent speaker and a calming presence that oozes competence. He gets the job done.
