That’s your problem right there.

Great blog, Albert, and perhaps an unintentional meta example of why we’re all so royally fucked.

THIS is an excellent story. Great journalism that susses out what’s really going on and explains it — pulls all the threads together.

I’m not defending Trump as a person one bit. But something you and many people failed to notice is how he was able to pivot his message from the primaries to the general.
