I think democracy's over. You know, if you watch nixon and kennedy and then watch, not even hilary and donald, but bud,. Even sa clinton and george h w. Bush, these are people who've been rehearsing for days. They have focus groups watching what happens to the worm. It something whichi's like a cuckoo laying its eggs in another bird's nest. It hits all our reflexes. This is like trolling on the intedet. No one's there. Someone's just tryin manipulate it.
