    To which I respectfully reply: This street very much goes two ways. I believe you are insulated from reality in the sense that your post does not seem to take into account how much fear and loathing of Donald Trump there truly is out there. I don't have cable and the media really does not form my opinions - daily economic survival does. I rank Trump so far a D - I'd give him an F but I do like the idea of our taxes being simplified so I'm being gracious and giving him a D. This is a rare kind take in the 85006 mind you, but I am at heart a humanitarian, hence the kind take towards Donald Trump. At any rate, I'd recommend your staying out of my zip code, for the same reasons you recommend I remain out of yours (shock of the flip of your script taking place) - once again, with all due respect, this street VERY MUCH goes two ways. Rob

    My apologies to Rob. I have many faults but arrogance is not one of them. Although I believe the perceived insult was inadvertent and a result of a misunderstanding....still...I will self impose a suspension.

    I think a lot of people who voted for Trump weren't so much interested in his personal qualities or policy goals as they were in flipping the bird to a condescending and indifferent political establishment.
    It's lamentable that President Obama couldn't shuck and jive better so as to curry favor with the unwashed electorate who (aside from a persistent core of frank racism/misogyny) can't bear to vote for a man they wouldn't want to "have a beer with." Personally (I know I'm repeating myself), I want a president who's smarter than I am, not some ignorant, grifting blowhard like the one we ended up with.

    And yet he won handily, twice!
    I think one of his crowning achievements was to make it fashionable for the true believers to publicly display their true attitudes about the "unwashed". Every level of local governance has benefited as a result. That's a legacy to be proud of!

    I think it's just that kind of rhetoric that put Trump over the top in a lot of areas.

    I hope Democrats get the drift and run a bunch of grinning glad-handing good old boys next time. The republic may not survive the current wave of blackguards, pissants, and Russian dupes.
