Beto O'Rourke got lots of attention from his campaign kickoff in Keokuk, Iowa. And thanks to some of his comments, not all of that attention was good.
To some Democratic voters, his references to his wife seemed like a flip acknowledgment that he was handing off parenting duties while he pursued his political dreams.
He’s not alone — Bernie Sanders and Cory Booker are among the candidates also asked about how they would look beyond their male points of view.
All of which is to say that the men running — and, in particular, the white men running — are having to grapple with gender in a way they’ve never quite had to before.

I find it interesting independents and democrats find this a major issue. While republicans have no prerequisites other than Jesus, guns, pro-life and hating immigrants. In other words trump will win a second term because the other side is too busy trying to create a politically correct candidate. Sigh.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
