http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lincoln-mitchell/our-political-class-lacks_b_13707792.htmlExcerpt:
No president has mixed U.S. foreign policy and personal financial interests, singled out ordinary Americans thus endangering their safety, or came to office with the help of interference by a foreign power. For political journalists and professional insider who have spent years, even decades, commenting on politics, schmoozing with politicians from both sides of the aisle and seen administrations come and go with little real impact on American democracy or stability, developing new habits and ways of thinking about American politics will be difficult, but if they do not they will miss the real story and all of us will be worse off because of that.

(12,422 posts)2. I am not sure you are going to be able to reach people ..
Who are listening to rush the slob, fake news, and many others that will be feeding them bullshit for at least the next 4yrs..
he has promised a lot to his constituents .. New factories, coal mining, new refineries, new infrastructure, new better paying jobs all over , and just about everything else they wanted to hear...
The only way to beat this guy is to ask his constituents in 6-12 months if they are any better off...
