Young people are horrified, and rightfully, at the thought of a tRump presidency.

...stronger, not weaker. They help us to test our theoretical ideas before they are enacted by creating a debate.

I am troubled, in this sense, about the collapse of the Republican party. One hopes that a new opposition to us will arise. Perhaps it will be the Libertarian party. I have no use for libertarianism per se - holding the opinion that anyone who reads Ayn Rand after his or her pimples have cleared needs to get a life - but I do think that Gary Johnson is sane, whereas Trump and much of the Republican leadership is not.

These Harvard folks are OK with me. I disagree strongly with them, but they are sane, and living in the real world. Good luck to them in restoring the Republican party to sanity, should that prove possible.

I do not agree with the "deregulate" and "Laissez-faire" "small government" stuff they put out, but that at least is an honest disagreement.

What they have going now is pure fascism, which will hopefully kick some sense into them or at least to any honest successors to the Republican Party, should it die a deserved death.

Republicons in office are too afraid to antagonize Trump voters so most have endorsed the Loudmouth Yam or remained silent.

The other doesn't look as if she (?) is paying any attention whatsoever to the jackass
