Thanks to Rich Nadworny of Burlington for tweeting this interactive map of the 50 states and the rise and fall of their approval ratings of President Trump since the 2016 election. Vermont’s – never high to begin with – leads the nation with a -42 nosedive. Shocking, huh? Greatest increase? Wyoming, +35.

In a nutshell – of all of the Democratic contenders for president, Bernie Sanders is the most likely to just leave the cultural conservatives alone, Ross Douthat says.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is thought of as a big spender ($49 trillion in new programs), but compared to Bernie ($97.5 trillion) she’s downright frugal.

The Russians could have created chaos by deleting the Vermont voter checklist, Secretary of State Jim Condos warned a St. Johnsbury audience on his Transparency Tour.

He may be lagging in some polls, but Bernie Sanders continues to build a killer donor list. He just passed four million – donors, not dollars. Eugene Debs would be proud!

No, Vermont’s incumbent governor hasn’t declared he’s a candidate for re-election in 2020. But he has sent out fundraising letters. A 2018 campaign aide said he’s keeping his options open.

A member of Vermont Rights and Democracy, a left-leaning political organization, has been hired to help Elizabeth Warren win the home state of Bernie Sanders.

Speaking to Iowa voters, Sen. Bernie Sanders has bucked the gun-control tide in the Democratic presidential primary by calling buy-back legislation “confiscation.”
