(The interview was conducted prior to Sunday's notification to Congress, by FBI Director James Comey, which brought to a close the Clinton e-mail matter.)

Retail politics

I was leaving the supermarket yesterday, and met one of the candidates for Sheriff, in my county; he gave me one of his brochures. I will more than likely be voting for his opponent--but I love the fact that the candidate was there, meeting people, seeking votes. (I think he was the first candidate I've met, this season.) Retail politics: it is, indeed, a resilient and great American tradition.

Libertarian Vice Presidential candidate Bill Weld: criticism for Trump, and praise for Clinton

Bill Weld, the former Massachusetts Governor, and the 2016 Libertarian Party Vice Presidential candidate, made some striking remarks this week, on Rachel Maddow's MSNBC program. He not only criticized Donald Trump, sharply--but offered praise for Hillary Clinton.

From the USA Today story, below: Weld "said he believes Trump is 'psychologically' unstable, a bully and incapable of 'competently managing the office of the presidency.'

"For Clinton, on the other hand," the story continued, "he had nothing but kind words. This was a clear break with his running mate, Gary Johnson, who has attacked both candidates."

The USA Today story noted: "Weld said he believes Johnson would make a good president and he supports the Libertarian platform, but 'having said that, I'm not taking back anything I said about the massive difference between the two establishment party candidates. One would be chaos for the country I think and the other would be a very business-like and capable and competent approach to our affairs.' "
