When you get up in your part of America and go to work, do you see blue skies, green lawns, clouds ... maybe some rain? Do you know people you like at your place of work, school or church? Do you have shopping available, parks, libraries, entertainment venues? Gonna guess 90% do. Imagine all that in a garbage can. Trump has you staring at a boil on the back of some guy's neck and demanding you not look at anything else.

We need regulation about what individual billionaires can do to affect elections. Rupert and Fox, now WP and Bezos. Not good.
