The Problem With Politics Is Dishonesty

Trump is the most extreme example of what I think is like an absolutely critical problem with politics. Honesty as an option, as an option rather than an obligation. Or pragmatic dishonesty, if you want to call it. It's about the whole system, not just in America, but across the Western world,. how we treat democracy and what voters expect of it and their disillusionment. The Pence thing, I thought. The Pence is extraordinary, isn't it? What was extraordinary? You feel sorry for Pence because he clearly realises that he's in the middle of a shit store and in a very difficult place.
