The absurdity of Donald Trump

[xoxoxoBruce]

I think there were a lot of people who had listened to campaign speeches and watched election outcomes only to be from disappointed to disgusted with the federal government.

Along comes trump and they said well shit, none of those politicians helped any and this guy talks about shit I can understand, so what the hell.

What the vast majority don't understand is the White House is a dog & pony show, what we really need is a change in Congress to make anything better. Not a push for a majority of one party or the other, Congressmen/women who are better quality.

Congress was once (ie 1960s) 60% moderates. Some now put that number as low as 10%. We know anti-Americans are extremists. We even see some posting here. Patriots are moderates. Gerrymandering and other intents to subvert democracy has made it difficult for moderates to be elected.

Moreso, some former and long time congressmen are identified by the nature of a wacko extremist. Some Congressmen have never voted yes for anything. Cantor once removed from committees four Congressmen who never voted yes. The wackos started a revolution. Cantor relented in days.

Wackos vote religiously. Typically 90% of wacko extremists vote. A moderate who does not vote therefore votes for the extremist.

Worse, even a moderate Congressman must entertain those extremists. If moderates walked into a voting booth and voted for no one, then the Congressman would pay attention to moderates. Does not matter who a moderate votes for. To a Congressman, what only matters is if that moderates walk into that voting booth.

Most moderates do not bother - therefore vote to have a Congress with so many wacko extremists.

Some Senators are so wacko extremist dumb as to even deny global warming is created by mankind. His religious beliefs tell him what to believe.
