Trump's not the answer, but maybe he'll shake things up enough for some potential answers to rise up.
Sounds logical to me.

Dump Trumps' "Great" Health Plan

Looks like the stuff about single payer was a lie also:

"These people are bad people who want to do harm to our country."

An oft repeated sentence which Trump uses to describe anyone who opposes him. This plants the seed that anyone who opposes Trump is a "real and present danger" (of some unspecified sort) who must be stopped by any means necessary.

I think the likelihood of someone being seriously injured or even killed at a Trump event grows every day. If Trump loses either the nomination or the presidency, that becomes a virtual certainty.

I can't stand any of the candidates. The only reason I will not vacate the USA when one of them is elected is our separation of powers (devised by a more rational group).

We will elect either an idiot, a shrill elitist, or a 60's throwback gnome. Thankfully, when a president starts throwing ideas around, we have a congress and supreme court to separate some of the wheat from the chaff.

Congress doesn't have a sterling reputation and the supreme court can be altered by appointment, but both can tie up lunatic bills until they fizzle and fade.

Gridlock has a designed function.

Me neither. I kind of like that we'll have the first woman president in our history. Lord knows, we who wear our gonads on the outside, haven't exactly been the best stewards of the land.

I'd be fine with that but don't see it as likely.

it's nap time!

I hate having to nap everyday, generally twice.

But, then again, overall things are great, just wonderful.

I listen to my music from dawn till dusk and enjoy some light banter with cyber friends.

On the weekends I eat like a king with most the pageantry. In between I pick up the phone and make a few dollars for more music! Yeah, things are good.
