It's all Theater

Politics takes center stage again, as Obama meets with Bernie Sanders to unite the Democratic party. The is generally the time political deals are brokered behind closed doors - but Bernie is too old. After months of campaigning against Hillary - and seeing her true colors and plans for the future of the country - how can one expect Bernie to endorse her. The Republican Party is also facing a similar dilemma in trying to figure out a way to unite the party and support Donald Trump. The conventions this summer will be very entertaining to say the least. Doesn't it seem incomprehensible and contrived that in this day and age - with all of the technology and amazing people in this country - Trump and Hillary are the two main choices. Only the simulation could force this game changer. Republicans also increasingly worry that Trump's attacks on specific nationalities and ethnic groups could cost them both the White House and Senate. Trump doesn't appear to share their concerns as he muddles on...


Thursday ... My DVR is set for the Tonight Show when Obama joins Jimmy Fallon in a tradition that he began on March 19, 2009, when he became the first sitting U.S. president to appear on a late-night talk show with Jay Leno. Politicians these days are expected to appear on late-night shows and be entertaining and informative. Fifty-six years ago this month, NBC made history when Senator John F. Kennedy became the first major presidential candidate to appear on a late-night program - the "Tonight Starring Jack Paar," during the 1960 election. Dressed in a suit, Kennedy answered questions about the U-2 spy plane captured in the Soviet Union, the failed Soviet summit and Cuba. Bill Clinton provided one of the most memorable appearances when he stayed in California for an extra day after winning that state's primary in 1992 to tape The Arsenio Hall Show. Donning Blues Brothers sunglasses, he played a rendition of Heartbreak Hotel on the saxophone.
