1. He's a Flake wannabe...

...trying to have their cake and eat it too (criticizing Trump but doing little to stop him).

[Renew Deal]

3. Agree

Sasse will lament the situation but do nothing to change it. He’s FOS unless he tries to primary Trump

4. We're about to fix that, Senator.

5. The next time Colbert goes to Nebraska

He needs to get off I-80 and see the rest of the state.

6. What about his thesis: we are lonely (digital age) so we invest too much in politics so we hate each

other.

Sounds good but is it right? I grew up in a very political family. Aunts who where state chair of Dem party, Aunts who ran for state house, delegates to nat'l convention, never missed a state or county convention. Ever. And not voting was a sin. And we talked politics all the time, even with the republicans we had in the large, extended family.

I think it has more to do with media than the digital revolution. Not only that, I've lived in my decent but not big sized city all my life and I don't know any of my neighbors. Isn't that a small town thing?

I think he's off base.

Anyone read his book?

7. He's horrible

Tweets out a few tepid semi-critical statements about tiny hands and the press falls all over him.

Peace

8. Correction

The GOP (Growing Old Party) isn't working
