Bottom line, he is a Jewish socialist. This country doesn’t elect a Jewish socialist. Most of the country doesn’t even understand what a socialist is; they think socialism is interchangeable with communism. And he’s Jewish. There’s still plenty of anti-Semitism out there.

With those two huge targets on his back, the GOP attack machine will slice him and dice him. There’s nothing more they can do to Hillary, because they’ve been doing it for twenty years and she’s still here.

What worries me is that when Hillary wins the nomination, the Bernie supporters will bail and just refuse to vote for Hillary. Unless she does the smart thing and makes him her running mate. I just hope to God that they don’t bail, because we cannot, CANNOT, have the GOP running the White House. If that happens:

Good-bye to health care. Good-bye to legalized abortion. Good-bye to environmental protection. Good-bye to sanity.

Please, folks: whatever Democrat gets the nod, VOTE FOR THEM. The alternative is unacceptable.

I didn’t live blog the commercials this year because we had friends over watching the game and I didn’t want to sit there typing the whole time.

Glad I didn’t. The commercials were a serious letdown this year. Where were the Budweiser Clydesdales? Where were the commercials that had you saying, “How’d they come up with that?”

Was it a total washout? No. The Snickers commercial that had Willem DaFoe transforming into Marilyn Monroe was inspired. The Helen Mirren anti-drunk driving commercial was brilliant. And everything else memorable was in the comic book realm: The Ant-Man vs. Hulk over a Coke ad, and the Turkish Airline commercials featuring Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne (Remember when everyone bìŧçhëd about Ben Affleck as Batman? Remember how the bìŧçhìņg stopped once they actually saw him in the trailers? Good. Now remember that next time you want to bìŧçh about something in advance.)

As for the game, I hate to admit it, but I actually paid attention to it when the heavily favored Panthers lost. I will say this: Cam Newton is being excoriated for walking out of the subsequent press conference. I’ve no idea why. If he felt he couldn’t sit there and talk to people about something that was clearly crushing to him, then by all means, get the hëll out of there. Much better to say nothing than say the wrong thing. Smart move on his part.

Okay, maybe someone can explain this to me, because I’m not getting something.

I’m seeing fans react with all manner of outrage because Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter donated a million dollars to Donald Trump. People are decrying him for it and naturally people are shouting that Marvel should be boycotted.

Except Perlmutter didn’t donate money to Trump’s presidential campaign. He donated a million bucks to help veterans. And it was his own money; it wasn’t like he skimmed a mill off the top of the last quarter’s profits and sent that in.

So…isn’t donating money to help vets a GOOD thing? A NOBLE thing? Something to be lauded for?

I mean, yeah, I suppose Trump could misuse the money or something. But that doesn’t seem to be weighing in to the vituperation. Instead people are just saying, “Perlmutter donated to Trump! What a dìçk!”

What am I missing here?
