Ode To Political Skill

Ode To Political Skill Hi! Happy Saturday! Two current events this week motivated me to write an ode to political skill. Democratic Debates  Gay Pride & Anniversary of Stonewall Riots. I was struck by two commentaries in the news this week, one was an assessment of Kamala Harris winning the Democratic Debates this week. T'other was a recounting of the events of the Stonewall Riots in 1969 that eventually became a gay pride march and gay pride month. Ode to Political Skill I've followed Kamala Harris' career in California. The sad, disheartening fact is that even though she had an affair with and was mentored by Willie Brown, she never learned his acumen for political skill or diplomacy. Kamala Harris is just a bully, a bully no different in lack of political skill than any other bully, including Trump.  And this is just stinking sad. What is political skill I cherish? One illustration is that this country is now smoke free in public place
