Regarding the NAFTA memo thing, I just came across an article in the latest issue of https://www.technologyreview.com/Infotech/21220/ where they interview Austan Goolsbee, Obama's economics advisor. They mention his discussion with the Canadian officials telling them not to pay attention to what Obama was saying in the campaign trail. They mention how he had to assume a less visible role in Obama's campaign until Hillary left the race.

If I was a voter interested in deciding which of two candidates was more likely to produce change, I would look for evidence of disgruntled dirty cops, a handful of angry employees with exaggerated claims, and angry Senate leaders. If one campaign didn't have some broken egg shells laying about, I would doubt they really knew how to make an omelet regardless of how flowery a speech they gave.

This has been a fascinating thread to follow...and I'm not even a "political" person.

However...If RCC was on the ticket...I'd vote for him/her.

You state that you are young RCC...I guess it shows that age is not a prerequisite for wisdom.

The only thing that frightens me are people such as Robroy that speak in such "absolute" terms...be they "left" or "right".

To paraphrase a quote my father told me...

"The most dangerous man in the world is the man who is absolutely sure
that he is right."
