Nah he lives out in the country at some undisclosed location. Though I think you are close-ish to Louisville right Cal?
Roughly halfway between Louisville and Lexington.

I disagree with that Vickers article: the gap in national security qualifications between the two major party candidates is actually greater than at any time since 1988--at least Stevenson was an ambassador.

Okay, Hillary's email scandal was bad, but it wasn't *that* bad.  She and Trump are both weak national security candidates.

You think they are equally bad?

I don't understand these polls.  I don't know one person who would consider voting for Trump and isn't in fact horrified by the prospect of a President Trump... and I live in Kentucky.

I've met a number of people who are so horrified by the prospect of a Hilary presidency that they plan to vote for Trump.  (That view seems especially prevalent where I've been working in rural Michigan; although I've met some Bernie Bros out there too.)  Here in small-town Florida I've met quite a few people who are enthusiastic for Trump.  Also, inexplicably, the Cubans seem to love Trump.  Even Marco Rubio has gotten in on the act, promising to keep immigrants from Muslim countries out in his Senate campaign.  Fortunately, here in Florida, we have real choice in our Senate race.  Aut Sol Invictus, aut nihil.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

People have been saying to ignore Trump in the polls as a fluke for over a year now.

Yeah, I wouldn't be complacent about Trump's campaign.

I don't think the dems are being complacent about Trump. They seem to be taking him deadly seriously.

During my travels today, I seem to notice a lot more Trump signs springing up. Even saw a few in the bastion of Marxism, Yellow Springs.

Not one Hillary sign. A few old Bernie ones though.

Yeah, I kinda figured you'd say that.  But, since you're going to insist on that line of thinking, we'll just cut out her 8 years as First Cunt and her 4 years as Secuntary of State for you.  8 years on the Armed Services Committee and 8 years on the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe still zeroes out The Donald.

Trump couldn't even deal with Leona Helmsley.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I fully expect him to be the next President of the United States.
