John Fund of the National Review recently penned a piece suggesting that "none of the above" be a choice on State presidential ballots. This should be a choice on all races as a means of bringing the parties quickly to heel and boost voter turnout to record levels!



Unfortunately the Nevada situation is not over. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch today printed Dana Milbank's column from two days ago, https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/does-bernie-sanders-want-to-be-t... It was filled with misinformation and unsubstantiated accusations, and subtitled "Candidate's increasingly harsh rhetoric could hurt the party in November." In a box they highlight the quote from Bernie, "We are taking on virtually the entire Democratic establishment." To me the fact that they think this sounds "bad" demonstrates that the powers that be just don't get it, they are lumping Bernie in with Trump as a kook, and they refuse to deal with the fact that people are angry with what has become of our economy, government and politics.
