So….did you miss me?
HA!
I am back from a (brief) spring break trip with the fam — much more on that in this space soon — and rejuvenated and ready to write!
But, at the moment, I want to know what’s on YOUR mind. What questions do you have from this week?
Throw them in the comments section and I will answer any and all of them tomorrow!

Hi Chris
I was having breakfast with my uncle last week, who happens to be a lifelong Republican, when our conversation turned to politics. We typically steer clear of politics, given the mixed party affiliations at the table, so I was surprised when he said he would have a hard time supporting Donald Trump in the upcoming elections. He bluntly stated, "He is just SO dumb!" His son, also a Republican, shared the sentiment. However, neither of them particularly favors Joe Biden either.
On the other hand, my fiancée and her sister, despite being Democrats, have their reservations about Joe Biden, feeling he's not progressive enough. That makes four people I know who, if asked, would express disapproval of Biden, yet might still find themselves voting for him. I wonder if this sentiment is reflected in polling data or if it's merely anecdotal. Is there evidence suggesting this is a broader trend? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Trump is clearly ramping up the “rigged” election talk, and it will most certainly only increase. What, if anything, can happen—either before or on election day—to possibly stop what may now be the inevitable “hair on fire” speech at 10:00 pm on election nite if things don’t seem to be going DJT’s way? Thank you!
