I truly am a Ms Placed Democrat. I am an original Bostonian and now a Kansan. I must give credit where credit is due. My daughter thought up the name. And it does fit my situation well. I was on the ground in four states for Hillary Clinton, Texas, Indiana, South Dakota and Montana. I ran the Veterans for Hillary tour through 16 cities and towns in Montana.
Where am I now? I am home after an exciting but somewhat demoralizing trip to Denver in August where I had the opportunity to meet so many fellow bloggers. I met Heidi Li of Heidi’sPotpourri, Riverdaughter, Bud White of NoQuarter, TexasHillCountry, LadyBoomer of NYC, BJ of Free Me Now and just so many others. Too numerous to list. The demoralizing part was watching the “undemocratic” and “unrealistic” roll call vote for the Democratic nomination.
I am truly misplaced because now I am crossing party lines and voting a straight Republican ticket. I am doing it less for the Republicans and more as revenger for the sexism, misogyny, and cheating in the Democratic Party. A few words of warning to the Democratic Party. Becareful for what you wish for. You are going to have to win with “The Campaign of Change”,”the new name for the Democratic Party. The leadership told the “old base” we don’t need you to win. And a good portion of the old base is doing exactly what I am doing!
Good luck with the “new base”. As Ollie North said (and I am paraphrasing here), college kids are reliably unreliable.
