EVOLUTION VERSUS REVOLUTION

Hi Humans,
In regards to the elections, Hillary Clinton favors progress by evolution (as President Obama has been doing successfully the past 7 1/2 years) toward a safer, more prosperous, and more balanced America. Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders say the system is broken, so they advocate revolution (break the mold and start again) although their revolutions are strikingly different from each other. Bernie's revolution is clearly toward socialism and economic equality. Donald's revolution is unclear, but he tells his followers to trust him and he panders to their bigotries. No leader is perfect. Mistakes are inevitable. Step by step progress allows one to correct mistakes and go on. Anyway, that's what this dog thinks. What do you think with your big human brain?

NOW THAT THE PRIMARY IS IN THE HOME STRETCH

Hi Human Bernie Sanders,
So now you are making demands on the Democratic party leadership and platform. You have enough followers to maybe sabotage the party which might get Trump elected.You want to throw Barney Frank out of his position in the party. Really? Barney Frank has better progressive credentials than you do, Bernie. Personally, I don't think your "reforms" are so great. TPP and NAFTA will create more American jobs than they will lose. Free trade is a good thing. You don't have to annihilate Wall Street. It serves a real function. It just has to be educated to behave and share more. As for foreign policy, it would be nice if the US didn't have to get involved in other countries disputes, but unfortunately as the world leader that's not possible. It just has to be done with common sense and diplomacy. As for the US policy toward Israel and the Palestinians, "even handed" is buzz word used by people who don't like Israel and tilt against it no matter what (like "second amendment rights" for the NRA). I agree that the present elected Israeli government panders to settlers who put Israel at risk for the sake of nonsense, but it is the lack of compromise by the Palestinian leadership that has driven the Israeli public from left to right.

Hillary,
I would suggest taking Elizabeth Warren as your vice president to pull in the Bernie Sanders people with or without Bernie.

THE ISSUES IN THE ELECTION

Hi Humans,
So what are the issues in the US presidential election. One should continue the progress made by President Obama in domestic and foreign affairs. The economy should continue to improve. NAFTA, TPP, and other trade agreements between the US and other nations are essential to the economy. Income equality should be promoted as much as is practical so that all the citizens of the US can share in the good economy. The earth needs to be protected from the side effects of economic growth. Climate change is real, not some conspiracy theory. The world is threatened by terrorists without boundaries who use religion to justify evil agendas. Defeating them involves fighting them with ideas as well as guns and bombs. And sanity can defeat their insanity if the sane humans in this world can come together and put aside the nonsense that separates them. The clock is ticking before the crazies get their grubby hands on nuclear weapons. So the stakes are high in the elections. Which candidate is best equipped to meet the challenges? Trump is a xenophobic narcissist followed by gullible bigots and now joined by cowards who have jumped on the Trump train to save their personal interests. Bernie Sanders offers quick fixes to dreamers. Hillary Clinton is a realistic progressive with the best shot at doing things right for America and Humanity (and we dogs live here too). Let's hope that once we get past the California Primary, the Democrats and other rational humans can coalesce behind Hillary and win the election.

EMAILS

Hi Humans,
Let me address the issue of Hillary's emails. It probably was poor judgment. But compare Hillary to the alternatives. Bernie and Donald are against the Trans Pacific Partnership and other international trade agreements to supposedly protect the jobs of American workers. But trade barriers go two ways. The reaction by other countries would actually cause the USA to lose more jobs than trade barriers would create. Also compare the email thing to Donald Trump's shady business dealings. Hillary's emails were for convenience. Donald Trump's shady businesses were for his greed. Putting aside all the crap, who will lead the USA forward to a better economy with incremental careful progressive improvements? That person is Hillary Clinton with or without her emails.

VOTE FOR HILLARY AND MAKE AMERICA EVEN GREATER THAN IT IS

Hi Humans,
Now I am just a dog, but even I can see that Hillary Clinton is an infinitely better choice for president than Trump. Hillary is a moderate progressive with years of experience in foreign and domestic affairs. She will build on the progress of the Obama administration. She will continue to improve the greatness of America. She represents mainstream USA. She is strong.
Trump feeds on fear and bigotry. Theodore Roosevelt said one should speak softly and carry a big stick. Trump speaks loudly with a very small stick. His boasts are empty. He proposes to wall off Mexico, but his wall would actually wall in America. He proposes trade barriers to protect American jobs, but such barriers would actually destroy American jobs. Everything he says is to appeal to the gullible but would produce bad results. He appeals to pessimism, presents unfounded conspiracy theories, and promises voodoo solutions.
Vote for Hillary. She will make America even greater than it already is.

A LETTER TO BERNIE

Hi Human Senator Bernie Sanders,
Seven years ago there were 2 great candidates running for president in the Democratic Primary. Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton. The Democrats chose Obama. When the results became obvious, Clinton conceded, wholeheartedly supported Obama, and became secretary of state in the Obama administration doing a fantastic job at it. She did not invent any conspiracy theories about why she lost. Obama won the election fair and square, and that was all there was to it.
Beside the facts that Hillary has the math on her side and you have given yourself an artificial handicap for the general election by calling yourself a socialist (whatever that really means), Hillary is better than you on the issues. Obama has done a wonderful job of repairing the economy since the Republican economic collapse. America needs to build on the work that Obama has done, not break the mold and hope that you can put the pieces back together again. Hillary has already adopted some of your ideas (maybe more than she should have). It is time for you to tell your supporters to coalesce behind the Democratic Party. Do you want history to blame you for giving the election to Trump?
