   Hire a 5th grader as timekeeper. Let candidates ask their own questions of each other.

   RE. “Do away with primaries and have one instant runoff (ranked choice) election in November.”

   Perhaps that can be addressed at the Constitutional Convention that will be held after cessation of hostilities at the close of the upcoming 2nd Civil War.

   “SANE, KNOWLEDGEABLE, COMPETENT, EMATHETIC” is not on tap.

   The Primary Season is the multiple choice section of the test: choose the best answer.

   November is the True/False section of the test: choose the least wrong answer.

   Hoover was of the same interventionist mind as FDR. He was driving when the crash happened in 1929.

   Silent Cal was not. If he’d have been driving (parked, more like) the Great Depression would have been the big pothole, like the depressions before.

   Calvin Coolidge’s son died while Cal was prez. It seemed to put him in his own private great depression that he never got out of. He did not run for a 2nd term, lived through Hoover’s single term, & died in 1933, after FDR won but before he took office.

   Under the But-For-A-Nail theory, I wonder if US history would have been different had 16 year old Cal, Jr. not died.

    Wasn’t the goal all along to flatten the curve ?

    That means same number of cases, just spread out over a wider time period so as not to overwhelm the medical & social infrastructure.

    I think that has been done. ICU beds are available. Ventilators have been manufactured. Mask production & distribution is up.

    How is that not mission accomplished?
