A former B-rated actor turned President is also deified by about 45% of the American public, so there's already precedent.

SNL doesn't have near the gravitas that Bedtime for Bonzo did.

Some of what he was called out on was along the lines of:
I disclosed the company/fund/organization I owned but I didn't disclose that as owner I also sat on the board.
That's not a meaningful omission. He thought that disclosing the company was enough. Seems legit to me. The purpose of these funds should be the real target for questioning.

I'm sure he has one of the big four and they are a lot sloppier than you would expect. There would be a whole team of people not just one person.

I think he'd be terrific. And one thing this election did: no one can EVER say again, "x is unelectable." We just validated that for any x, x being someone who meets the Constitutional requirements, x is potentially electable. We have literally reached the bottom. The bar wasn't lowered; there is no longer any bar.

Thank Bismark for that. He wanted to break the power of the Church schools. He did.

This is, indeed, correct. We didn't have to follow the Krauts, though. I wonder if there was significant opposition at the time? I know nothing about the history of education.

True for x. Not so much if there's two x's.

This is very true. Really anything that helps people distinguish noise from actual well done science is so important to having a well educated society.

Re: POTUS 45.0: It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
I don't think so. Far more people inclined to vote for a Republican will vote for whoever has the "R" next to their name. That Hillary couldn't muster enough votes from people who probably voted for a Democrat for president in every other election in the 2000s shows that people who lean left actually care about who is running. My guess is there is no one who would run as a Republican and fail to get at least a third of the vote. That simply would not be true of the Democratic party candidate

don't overthink this. hillary suxd. worst candidate ever. again for the 100th time people hated her (yes yes yes. loved in California land. but broad hatred lost her a number of close states. anyone else would have been able to squeeze out a state or two)

Re: POTUS 45.0: It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
That's my point. People hated her so people didn't vote for her. There were counties in Ohio that Obama won by 20 points in both 2008 and 2012 that Hillary could not carry. Because people who voted for a Democratic candidate time and again did not just pull the lever next to the name with the "D" next to it. Lots of people hated her and did not vote for her. Lots of people professed similar feelings about Trump and voted for him anyway because too many Republican leaning voters will vote for whoever has the "R" next to their name.

Neil Young's expert analysis:
“Maybe this election thing needs to be looked at again, maybe there’s something wrong with it, maybe there’s something wrong with the candidates, the choices, the availability, the forum that it is, the two-party system, the whole thing. Maybe the whole thing is a little bit off and people are looking at it, that’s why there wasn’t any interest,” he says. “Many people when Bernie went away just went away. They said, ‘He was the only one we liked, the other ones we don’t like and we’re not gonna vote for something we don’t like cause we felt what it was like when we were backing somebody we really believed in.’ So that’s what happened in my view.”
Gotta love those rockers.

This is an amazing story about the Obama's eldest daughter. I had no idea she had done this.
