Dear Steve,

I am not a fan of video only blogs. I’d prefer to read what you have to say. Is there a way you can add a transcript to your emails? Thanks for your consideration.

Could this scenario have played out differently if after Trump's NH victory, Nikki Haley declared herself the winner and claimed the primary was rigged?

I wondered aloud some time ago about whether Trump might talk himself out of a job. Oh, I know, it is too much to hope for, but he keeps topping himself. A guy who wins a primary by a dozen points ought to be ebullient, everybody's pal, the anointed one. So what does he do? With sweat breaking through his makeup, he finds a way to insult two guys who not only support him but made the trip. What was that? He hates Blacks so much that I think he will, if elected, make Tim Scott a butler within 20 minutes of re-taking office. Blacks will not do well in a Trump dictatorship. As for Ramaswami, he gets one minute to have his say. His name is so unusual, he would probably just get arrested. Every day is more outrageous than the last. Dictator for a day was weeks ago. Now he is insulting prominent supporters. If this is a trend he'll probably pick Stormy Daniels for VP, cause at least she knows her place. I can't wait to hear what he is saying by October. I hope people keep feeding Nikki enough money to take up residence under his skin because he cannot stand her or any woman who challenges him. He just thinks they belong horizontal in the bedroom or vertical in the kitchen, when there is a very good chance that 99% of them are smarter than he is. Let's feed some good lines to VP Harris, Black and female and she knows how to deliver a zinger. I foresee an orange explosion. His fans may end up voting for pieces sticking to the ceiling come November.

You only helped Dean launch his campaign..... And again, why? He crossed the line with his comments about Biden. Money is always at the bottom of things.

Steve gave the guy a hand. That’s the extent of it. No money. No position in the campaign. So, what Phillips said is on Phillips. Not Steve. We need everyone on board at this critical time. And Steve is heralding the ship.

Hi Steve: Thought you would enjoy this story about Governor Wesley Powell of NH who received a similar threat from Nelson Rockefeller as that delivered by Trump in his victory speech Tuesday:

Every primary win for Trump is proof that the electorate wants to take out the establishment.

Every primary win for Trump demonstrates the shocking number of Americans, like you, who are brain dead and would vote for Oban or Capone or Putin because they want to put their lives in the hands of a Dictator. It would be smarter to dive down an elevator shaft to see whether you can fly! Do yourself and us a favor, Frank and SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Oh gawd Bob, I see what we mean by hysterical. You should work on adjusting the media feeds causing you such hyperbole and emotional turmoil. Don't you get out much to talk to rational people?

"The policies the Joe Biden Administration implemented during the last 3 years have held corporate feet to the fire, and helped middle class people immensely."

From what planet do you live to write this unless satire?

Would I be given a chance to ask Biden a question from the assembled press corp , (assuming of course an objectively chosen representation of journalists and not a crewe carefully chosen for their bias, a now growing concern for both represented sides), I would ask:. President Biden,for the last 30 years, your nickname in DC has been "Corporate Joe.". Could you tell us please how you earned that nickname?

He would ignore the question and talk about his hairy legs and swimming with children.
