My dog is in the middle of diabetic alert dog training and is doing exceptionally well.  Scheduled to graduate the last Saturday in June!  Will be good to have my Golden Retriever with me at all times.

I know this is Pilot Spin and all, but no matter what anyone says, if you don't, yannow, actually vote for a candidate, you haven't voted for that candidate. The contention that abstaining or voting third party is a vote for the eventual winner is garbage. This is inarguable, and can be shown to be logically true.

But beyond that, many of us consider our one vote more than just a simple tool.  It is an affirmation of our republic and a deep honor. Using the vote is meaningful. And so, too, can not using it be meaningful.

This is the "George Will Party" and their prerogative in a nutshell.

I like the wisdom of our founders, especially since it infuriates liberals so much,

You'll have to explain the connection between municipal bonds and the federal tax rate.  I have a better than average knowledge of economics and the financial system but I'm drawing a blank on why these two would be connected.

Imagine a 50% fed tax rate.

$100,000 invested in a 3% municipal bond would yield $3,000/yr in tax free dividends.
$100,000 invested in a 6% corporate bond would pay $6,000/yr in taxable dividends. After taxes you'd be left with exactly the same $3,000.

Adjusting the federal rate up or down would change the effective yield of the corporate bond, making the tax free either more or less desirable.

Right?

I got home from the office really late last night and was flipping channels just unwinding, and I saw Hunt for Red October.  I stayed up until after midnight just to get to your signature line.  😄

Can you tell us what specific laws codify discrimination today, and what laws are being mal-enforced?

I reread my post and I didn't get the switcheroo of timeline you did. Perhaps it's the sleep deprivation talking.

Congratulate me: I became a dad again, 6 days ago.

This is a serious question. Why did someone who has expressed extreme hate for the GOP and the RNC, and who hasn't read the rules and refuses to acknowledge the rules, and wants the rules changed such that a plurality of delegates should automatically get the nomination, want to be this party's nominee? 

Why does Trump want the GOP nomination, when he appears to be at odds with much of its platform, including the support for the Fifth Amendment and the platforms rejection of Kelo v. New London (pg. 13 of the Republican Platform 2012)? 

Why didn't he just start his own party?  He could certainly afforded to do so. He could have set up a primary system where every  state has a Trump Party primary vote (no caucuses or conventions), and the plurality vote getter gets the nomination. It would be an excellent party, a beautify party, and the Trump Party voters would be fabulous people.

I despise the Republican establishment (the elected career politicians), but not the party of Lincoln.  That's why I engaged in significant debate over on POA that the Tea Party wanted to change the GOP from the inside, and not start a new party. However, I don't think Trump even knows the GOP was the party of Lincoln, or that it was started in 1854 in nearby Ripon, Wisconsin.

So why did Trump run as a Republican?
