It was "PolitiDose" long ago in more than one commentary that alerted its readers that the "crooked candidate" in the 2016 Presidential race was not Hillary Clinton as Trump spit out one lie after another. And now, just yesterday before the U.S. House in public testimony Trump's long time attorney and confidant, Michael Cohen testified under oath in detail that indicated it was indeed Donald Trump who was the "crooked candidate" in the 2016 Presidential campaign and election.
Cohen's testimony went even farther and described Trump as a con man, a fraud, a liar and a man and President who violated the law. Cohen's testimony also left no doubt that Donald Trump paid hush money to keep an affair secret and out of the public eye during the 2016 campaign. Cohen's testimony fit in with all of the so called rumors about Trump during the past 3 years, only this time it came from a credible witness who worked for Trump and carried out Trump's orders to lie and cheat.
The public hearing was another piece of evidence how Hillary Clinton was so correct in her assessment about Trump being unfit to serve as President and his intimate relationship with Russia to damage Clinton's campaign and influence the election in Trump's favor. The 48% of the popular vote in Clinton's favor and the over whelming democratic vote this past November that gave control of the U.S. House to the democratic party was an indication that the majority of those voting understood just how damaging Donald Trump would be and has been to the country and its people.
Yes my fellow Americans, Donald Trump was the "crooked candidate" in the 2016 Presidential campaign and election and is the "crooked President" who occupies the White House.
And it is a sad story how the news media in general allowed themselves to repeat Trump's lies about Hillary Clinton so often during the campaign. The readers of PolitiDose are more informed concerning the real stories that takes place. And that really says it all.

Its Not Too Late For Mitch Landrieu To Run For President
Will Mitch Landrieu run or not? This writer thinks Mitch should be giving this decision serious thought. He has time to decide despite a number of democrats who have already announced and despite the fact that the first democratic debate is scheduled for June 2019. Since campaigns and debates have become so inflammatory with little substance, facts and solutions, a shorter period would be more productive.
Mitch is young enough to wait until the 2024 Presidential elections. In the mean time he could be using his time to learn about domestic and national issues, foreign policy, the federal budget and the international world a President has to deal with. Landrieu already has the political understanding to run government and make government work so he would be a great candidate.
The democratic candidates who have announced their decision to run are a diversified lot and would be better than any republican candidate, including Donald Trump. But Landrieu brings more political experience and can articulate policy and plans on a scale that would be understood by the voting public. Plus he is a public servant who really cares about governing, the issues and the people.
This writer would like to see Mitch Landrieu run for public office again at what ever level he chooses. The public needs his experience and service and a run in 2020 should not be out of the question. The next President will have his hands full dealing with the mess Trump has created so it is more important than ever to elect a Presidential candidate that has political understanding, the very thing President Truman spoke about so long, long ago.
