Didn't mean to steal any (You)s or anything so sorry if I caused offense. I did like your format so apologies for lifting, though what about it was harder to read? And is 3hrs away really that far off? Could just be I'm a junkie for this stuff but feels like an appropriate time to get warmed up

I vote that we end the use of "Electric Boogaloo" to signify a part 2 to something. I say it should be retired in favor of "The Legend of Curly's Gold."

"Escape II Africa", "The Quickening", "Armed & Fabulous" are all far better than "Electric Boogaloo".

But seriously, they all have a leg up imo by virtue of not being Hillary.

If, "statistically", most Americans disapprove of Trump, then he wouldn't have been elected in the first place.

That's not how American democracy works. Under the system the US has, you can be absolutely reviled by most people, and still win. All you have to do is run a more successful campaign than the person you're up against, and if your opposition is woefully disorganized, then the odds are stacked heavily in your favor.

Also, consider what I said earlier: political power isn't won on the back of the majority, it's won thanks to organized and determined minorities. As long as Trump has his base, all else being equal, the rest of the voters will fall in line.
