   I agree with your position: however, in the short term it means if you vote for a republican you are voting for the end of our nation as we have known it.

   Don’t try to do it alone. Talk to your state’s aging and adult care office, or your state’s office of aging. They get federal money to help people like you and your loved one. I live in Washington where Aging and Adult Care is an active and effective source for information and help. They can direct you to help according to your need. (No, they won’t help you figure out how to sell grandpa’s house and keep all the money for yourself. I’m a volunteer counselor, and I get these requests!)

   I know the folks in Arizona have some serious problems dealing with reality. 25 years ago when we were deciding on a winter home we chose California instead of Arizona because of the schizophrenic attitude toward their migrant workers. A lot of them were not migrant — they had lived in the state and contributed to the state’s economy for decades, but their status was that they were illegal.Arizona absolutely relied on those workers for their farming community and their agricultural product, yet, after working hours, they prosecuted them like they were a hated minority, even worse than black workers. (and that is saying something). And there was no covering up the attitude of hate toward those essential workers. It was like the state of Arizona was PROUD of their hate.

   We were unwilling to spend our winter months in community with such blindness to their own need for people who helped make them successful. Racial hate is an ugly thing.

   No. She would have been 100% better. The R’s are afraid of her. That is why they had so many Benghazi hearings. Remember, the security for the embassy was not up to snuff because the R’s killed the funding for embassy security. And she stood up to their endless questioning because she was in the right (no pun intended).

   But, they don’t want a health care system. Everyone who counts already has medical insurance and health care. It’s only the people who don’t count who do not have access to health care because the state refuses to adopt the Affordable Care Act. Seniors on Medicare automatically get the benefits in Medicare that came with the ACA, so they don’t care.

   A golfer like this guy would just kick it in and expect everyone else to look away, pretending they didn’t know he is a cheat. Of course he cheats at everything. He liked dating little girls because they wouldn’t have anything to compare him to.

   Well, of course Texas has not adopted the Affordable Care Act. Expand Medicaid and have all those “people” get health insurance?! Are you kidding?

   Here’s the real problem for Texas: they get more federal cash than they pay in USA taxes. They’d have to start taxing their residents for the things they get now from the feds. And the jobs they would lose? Hundreds of thousands of good paying government jobs, and jobs that rely on them. It would devastate the Texas economy. Moving the military out of Texas? Well, I guess they would have their own army, navy, air force, and space force, wouldn’t they?

   The 9/11 hijackers were Saudis, so that’s why JW Bush attacked Iraq. He was an oil man.
