I am not sure it matters over there about the royals, but, if he is like his mom, I might start keeping up with him more. I really liked that woman more than all the rest of them and thought she was treated shabbily.

I was beginning to be hopeful about the democrats chances in Georgia until of course I read from Nate Silver. He is predicting a narrow win for Hansel, which according to him, would be enough of a morale booster to keep republican on the Trump train.
I don't see why not considering he was the only predicting a close run in the swing states with a possible Trump win if certain circumstance went a certain way. In fact Huffing post criticized him for being so negative.
In any event, there are two races today worth keeping up with, in Georgia and South Carolina. Hey, aren't you from SC? There is a podcast thingie at 538. I don't do those things, but, I'll check in later to see how it is going.
AP sources: Senate GOP health bill would reshape Obama law
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans would cut Medicaid, end penalties for people not buying insurance and erase a raft of tax increases as part of their long-awaited plan to scuttle President Barack Obama's health care law, congressional aides and lobbyists say.
After weeks of closed-door meetings that angered Democrats and some Republicans, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell planned to release the proposal Thursday. The package represents McConnell's attempt to quell criticism by party moderates and conservatives and win the support he needs in a vote he hopes to stage next week.
In a departure from the version the House approved last month, which President Donald Trump privately called "mean," the Senate plan would drop the House's waivers allowing states to let insurers boost premiums on some people with pre-existing conditions. It would also largely retain the subsidies Obama provided to help millions buy insurance, which are pegged mostly to people's incomes and the premiums they pay.
The House's tax credits were tied to people's ages, a change the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said would boost out-of-pocket costs to many lower earners. Starting in 2020, the Senate version would begin shifting increasing amounts of tax credits away from higher earners, making more funds available to lower-income recipients, some officials said.
The emerging Senate bill was described by people on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.
Facing uniform Democratic opposition, the Senate plan would fail if just three of the chamber's 52 Republicans defect. More than half a dozen GOP senators have expressed problems with the measure, and a defeat would be a humiliating setback for Trump and McConnell on one of their party's top priorities.
Tell me about it. But unfortunately, he fairly represents who voted for him. I can't wait until all these politicians die out and by default we have to get some new people in. Perhaps I will still be alive, but even I am not, at least my kids and grandkids will be better off.
It's somewhat similar to Trump winning the white house. Trump is a scammer, liar and racial bigot, but he won. Can't do much about it; I'm only one vote. It's going to be a very long four years, unless he gets impeached or quits. His approval rating is in the low 30s.
Trump has a 27% approval rating in California. http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/05/31/donald-trump-california-approval-poll/

There are plenty of negative media on Trump, and he's one guy that watches/listens to most of them. His ego has been hurt, and that's his weakness. Maybe, just maybe, he will quit. Sooner the better!
Trump: 34%
