It's easier to understand why Donald Trump thinks hosting a TV show makes someone qualified to do *anything* else when you realize that Trump hosting "The Apprentice" was the only reason anyone thinks the failed businessman is competent to do anything else.

‘To do’ list

~ susie

Well, it’s that time in the election cycle where the usual suspects are complaining that identity politics lost the election and how Dems need to win our economic trust. I thought I’d make some suggestions:

Democrats want to win our economic trust? Here's a start:1) Raise the federal minimum wage to $172) Pass card check legislation3) Pass legislation forbidding Congress to buy stocks4) Raise ceiling on taxable income for Social Security5) Treat billionaires like an undesirable aberration
