@szorowitz @ND9dk What campaign? Maybe we’ll go back to the “front porch campaign” of William McKinley with a screened-in virus-and-bullet proof porch. Biden has his basement and Trump has the Rose Garden. Crowds can be holograms of cheering fans.

The song, "Murder Most Foul", is almost 17 minutes long, Dylan's lengthiest ever. From "Ask not what your country can do for you..." to the last thing JFK ever heard (Nellie Connally saying, "You can't say Dallas doesn't love you, Mr. President"), it's in there.

Like Bob Dylan did, you'd have to have been alive and experienced the Nightmare on Elm Street in Dallas 11/22/63 to fully appreciate the song. It's almost a history of JFK's murder that day, and what it meant for the America of then and now.

@SharonCarbine @Keith_Pol Biden made what amounts to an iron-clad promise to put a woman on the ticket. Women are ~52% of the population. So not one is qualified next to Cuomo? "Read my lips--no new taxes"--Ask Bush 41 how breaking that promise hurt him in '92.

If #COVIDー19 had happened a year ago, would Democrats have chosen @NYGovCuomo for President? Don’t know, but his measured, factual, responsible briefings are quite a contrast with Trump’s. Yet it’s 2020 not 2019. Timing is everything in sex and politics.
