No Balls at All

In 2016 I was answering a phone in the Santa Rosa Democratic HQ, when a drunken woman called in. She said she had a message for Obama. This was a cry from her heart. I told her that I had no way to reach the President. "Tell him he's got no balls!" she said. I repeated that I had no way to relay her message. "Your problem is . . . you got no balls!" she said. 

I laughed, but I should have taken her analysis seriously. 

Today the Democratic party is waiting for  Bob Mueller's report on President Spanky. If the report is negative, they may try to impeach him, but they don't know enough about Spanky to discuss impeachment yet. 

Voters respond to frankness. 

If the Republicans are the stupid party, the National Democrats are the gutless, rubber legs party. Spanky is the confidence man who invented a fake college to strip money from poor people attempting to educate themselves. He took children from their mothers at the border and caged them and lost track of who they were. He asked the Russians to hack into Hillary Clinton's emails. He tried to destroy NATO. He took a knee before Putin, a neo-fascist dictator. He bragged about sexually abusing women. He praised American Nazis. But the National Democratic party is waiting for a report (and wondering why the good guys aren't trusted and popular).  

The problem is that the good guys are stiffs; they are gutless, insincere and calculating when they should react with feeling. And that is why they today hope to squeak by in elections they might win by 40 points if they had any balls.
