It is obvious that m$m loves to play megaphone for TrumPutin -- ratings, ratings, ratings.

We need "stars" willing to use a piece of their camera time to promote the vote!

Howzat for a catch-phrase?

Unfortunately, I don't have a clue how to accomplish such a thing nor who to suggest it to.

I thought she was just another pop tart. Then I began to notice how smart she was about using social media. She was better at promoting herself that way than just about anyone else.

My respect for her grows.

To Taylors music but have read enough about her over the years to know she is one brilliant woman with talent.

If anyone can get the young to vote I am all for it.

Many of the elderly who are glued to Fox news seem to have atrophied brains and love the Reality Star. They put us in this mess that Obama was getting us out of.. it was the young, boots on the ground that elected him lest we forget.

My small Town elected a young Mayor. He has really gone to work. The evidence is already showing in new curbings, streets, electric.

The position is not Political but when he saw the TV station I had on he and his wife admitted they were Democrats.

I had emailed him asking who put in smoke Detectors . He came with his wife and installed it.

The folks who turn on her, probably don’t actually spend the money on her music.

My very diverse lot of grand babies love her music. The Fox News audience will simply die off.

This next generation doesn’t understand the bigotry. The just want their peers to be nice.

Swift’s call to action will matter on November 6th

BTW the song she performed last night featured the lyric "if a man talks shit then I owe him nothing. I don't regret it one bit cause he had it coming." Many think that was a dig at Trump.
