It seems that now that Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee, people are starting to pay attention to him. For him that is not good. Almost daily there is a new "revelation." He doesn't donate to charity; he isn't as rich as he claims; he won't release his taxes; he is more bigoted than we thought; he gets sued a lot; he might be indicted. His poll numbers are tanking, and he gets no love from Republicans (except some Evangelicals, go figure). Yet, like a toothache, we can't get rid of him.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
