I am from Canada, and I remember Al Franken, that too was a travesty

He was a major asset to the party. The Republicans can throw enough venom around without us Democrat supporters loading the guns for them.

It seems a minor, petty, trivial point, but it is not only bad grammar but is used as a deliberate, lame attempt by republicans to insult Democrats. It's infuriating and one of my biggest pet peeves. Thanks!

I want a younger candidate and we have lots of good options.

he deserves to be treated with more respect and I just hate to see his reputation thrown down the toilet. I understand that you think his time has passed but then again he has a lot of experience.

an outsider's perspective can catch things that an insider may not. So go for it!

We will be having a federal election next month. Labor v Liberal National Party. In Australia, "Liberal" doesn't have the same meaning as it does in US. Labor is on the left and LNP is on the right. I'm a member of the Labor Party and I work as hard as I can to have my local candidate win in my electorate. I love politics and try to keep track of what's happening in both countries. Feel free to comment on anything that happens in my country on a political basis.

politics than we are of theirs. I do know that Australia has its act together on gun control vastly better than we do.
Right now, I think the PM of NZ is a shining star, given her response to Christchurch.

Australia does have good gun control legislation and an excellent health care system. Jacinda Adern is, as you say, "a shining star" and all countries can learn from her example. It is amazing how far New Zealand leads the world in many aspects. They were the first country to give women the vote, they introduced gay marriage before we did and Jacinda is their 3rd female PM. There wouldn't be too many countries that don't mind their PM not being married yet giving birth while in office. Such a small country with such a big reputation.

Prime Directive

And omg you called it the Prime Directive...you should marry me lol!

Remember the lies that were told about Kerry and his service and that his medals weren't actually earned, etc....

These lies about Biden have the smell of swiftboating, and Fox is running with it.

POS Fox viewers wouldn't know the goodness of a man like Biden. Trump is their guy.....Couldn't be any bigger contrast of persons, and so they have to try and sully Biden. Actually, he's just the latest in a string of Dem candidates that's been targeted. Just don't fall for their crap!

would make an outstanding president. We can expect a very dirty campaign from the right. Remember that there is a big, fat, orange man with little hands out there and we've got to save every bit of our ammunition for him and his cronies.

from Australia.. you've been here awhile but I welcome you anyway.

Mahalo, pink

I love following American politics as well as my own. Each system is totally different and that's probably why its so interesting. I'm really looking forward to the Primary season and hopefully the undecided voters will see an absolute contrast compared to who's in power now.

That is why they are doing this- it is so obvious. I hope he runs because I don’t think anyone else can win.

These trivial claims may also end up destroying a good man's career. I cant believe that if he upset these ladies so much that it didn't seem important enough to mention it when it happened. I find Joe to be a very likeable and empathetic person and I don't think he deserves such treatment. If the same accusations were made against "Teflon Trump" they would be yesterday's news before it was even brought up in the media.

Lets see what happens. I have never supported me too. I am a woman who has suffered but I don’t support fascism as a response.

Please enlighten us as to how we can be allowed to discuss issues we have with candidates without "attempting to bring them down"
