Isakson, as in 2010, agrees to only one debate. The good news is Buckley will be included. Bad news is Isakson is so strong that it won’t matter. In the presidential contest a Buckley style candidate would poll well above 10% against the two current presidential candidates because Buckley actually has workable positions on issues.
On another subject AJC reports Blue Cross rates will increase 21% for Georgians on Obamacare. Other Obamacare provider rates will increase also. A portion of these increases will be funded by taxpayers.

No more treason-flags in national cemeteries. Only to be allowed graveside during Memorial Day and Treason Memorial Day.

So Pence is coming to Atlanta for a fundraiser at an “undisclosed location” (well, you have to RSVP to get the address according to the invitation). Is he giving some secret CIA briefing?
Pence, the guy the GOP said would bring gravitas to the ticket, ought to be in hiding after saying that he had “never spent time with someone more devoted to the armed forces” about Trump and then Trump saying he’d sacrificed for the country by running businesses.
The nearly daily disasters that are the Trump campaign are so egregious that the disasters of a few months ago are ancient history. The occur so frequently that they’re unable to penetrate the bubble, so Trump’s got that going for him.
Today’s history lesson:
“I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things.”—Trump in response to a question from Morning Joe on who he consults about foreign policy.
Trump said he does not need to read extensively because he reaches the right decisions “with very little knowledge other than the knowledge I [already] had, plus the words ‘common sense,’ because I have a lot of common sense and I have a lot of business ability.”
“I know what I’m doing and I listen to a lot of people, I talk to a lot of people and at the appropriate time I’ll tell you who the people are.”.
“But my primary consultant is myself and I have a good instinct for this stuff.”
Trump may not make the ballot in all 50 states.
