Regarding "George H.W. Bush will pick Clinton? A Kennedy says so", it is hardly surprising that Democrats like Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend would troll a 92 year old for political advantage. This is after all the party that "escorts" the occupants of nursing homes to the polls.
Sadly, it is also unsurprising to learn that George H.W. Bush might vote for Hillary Clinton. As the author of the "Kinder, Gentler" philosophy that attempted to unravel Ronald Reagan's legacy, it is completely consistent with his long history of accommodating Democrats at the expense of his own party.

A Simple Solution
Regarding "UT chancellor: Sitting during anthem disrespectful" (Friday Page A2), University of Texas chancellor William McRaven is umpteenth opinion maker to offer an opinion on whether the actions of San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick are appropriate, but also the umpteenth who fails to offer a solution.
Protesters such as Kaepernick ought to be given the option of leaving the field one minute before the national anthem, and then returning when it is done. This would be respectful of the overwhelming majority of fans, yet consistent with his conscience.
Granted, Kaepernick would be deprived of his endless Selfie Moment, but that wasn't really the point, was it?

Missing The Obvious
Regarding "Russian plot to disrupt U.S. elections probed" (Tuesday Front Page), the article claims that Russian operatives "hack systems used in the political process", but is this true?
Further in the article, specific mention is made of the recent hacking of the Democratic National Committee server by suspected Russian operatives, as well as the Wikileaks dump of Hillary Clinton campaign e-mails. Add to that the revelations in recent months that "Guccifer 2.0" hacked the Clinton Campaign, and recent testimony that Hillary used a private server in her basement with only the most basic of cybernet security when she was secretary of state, and it seems that all of the vulnerable "systems" involved belong to Democrats.
In 2013, Edward Snowden stole millions of federal government records and took them to the Chinese and the Russians. Last summer, it was revealed that personal files of over 24 million people were stolen from federal government computers in two separate incidents, supposedly by the Chinese.
I think I see a pattern here.
