Despite Controversy, Election Energizes Nation

Happy June eve, Friends,

There were only a few minor developments in the presidential race over the long holiday weekend.

Bernie Sanders had a security scare yesterday at a California rally when someone rushed the stage. And Sen. Diane Feinstein, a Hillary mouthpiece, has been making the media rounds urging Bernie to drop out of the race.

He did not, should not, and will not. And the Democratic establishment ought to shut up because they're just making themselves look bad.

Reportedly, Donald Trump is upset at National Review editor Bill Kristol's tweet yesterday that he will reveal a superstar conservative "third party" challenger to Trump shortly.

The good news is: millions of new voters have participated in this year's
primaries. The bad news is: well there really isn't any bad news about that.
Kristol's tweet was a total diss to legitimate Libertarian third-party nominees and former Republican governors Gary Johnson and his running mate Bill Weld. This is the first Libertarian ticket that could have a genuine impact on a presidential race.

Meanwhile, Nubbs continues to be his outrageous self, both live and on Twitter. And he still conducts himself like a parody of the worst possible presidential candidate that Hollywood could ever conjure up.

He even violated Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment, "Thou shalt not criticize another Republican," hammering Susana Martinez, the popular Latina governor of New Mexico; when she said no to attending a Trump rally there last week. And he completely got away with the sin.

Trump's conducting his campaign as if he's competing on his own reality show, and just like Alex Trebek likes to do on Jeopardy, he's showing off that he's smarter than any of the contestants.

So far, we've seen this presidential election go beyond what anyone could have anticipated or even imagined. Its craziness (belying its actual importance) has energized so many millions who'd otherwise be mired in apathy.

That's a very good thing.

The United States has historically lagged behind all other first-world democracies in voter participation, but that's not going to happen this time.

This election is turning out to be the 'Mother of All Elections', and ironically, Nubbs is responsible.

So, whomever you support, God bless you.  And thank you, Friends, especially if you're among the millions of first-time voters who've become inspired.

The more Americans who participate in the election process, the better off we'll all be in the long run.
