We want to believe in the future, can you make it happen?

Your win in California is badly needed. I am sure the smart people of California would really make a smart choice. I am glad so many young people think that you can pull it off, against all odds.

Why do you think I believe in what you say? It's because I do not believe in your opponents, either democrat or republican. They do not represent the values I deeply care.

Would I settle for a third party candidate? Yes, of course, any other choice than the impending (looks in evitable) choice is highly desired.

Moving away from binary democracy...

It has been mostly Democrats or Republicans in this binary dictated democracy. I have no political connections but I would like another party or two joining the political scene so that we have a full flavored democracy.

It looks like it may be possible. whether or not it is going to happen is very much to be seen.

Democratic Presidential Candidate Jim Webb may go independent. That is manna to my ears.

Even Donald Trump has hinted going Independent. That's also good. I do not like quite a few of his ideas, but then I will not find a single candidate that I am comfortable.

Ben Carson also has hinted;

I see great future if something different happens.....

My views have not changed since 2006 when I first articulated but many years before that in the past.

This is a very good point

I am not political in the sense that I am not aligned to any one party. I do believe in a democracy with multiple parties although it may amount to delays in taking decisions. I basically do not favor a two party system and it will be healthy to have multiple parties.

I was listening to Trump this morning  and there was an unmistakable piece of logic in what he was saying. It reminded what my father was saying about getting help. If someone gives you, say $100, be sure he will be expecting $100 plus more from you. Nothing is free. If you are financed by vested interests they are expecting you to pay back in favors.

Trump can say that since he has the resources and probably he does not need money.

Since I like multiple parties to have voice, I am disappointed with him going under the shade of the Republican umbrella. I suppose that is political reality.

Here are some of the pictures from the TV if you missed the press conference. Each picture shows the high-point of the conference speech.
