Trump’s infrastructure package would destroy America’s history of tying the country together and feed the shreds to the pockets of the greedy few.

An important story about the data that may have gotten Brexit to pass and Trump to be elected. Read it, worry — worry bigtime about its effect on democracy , then adapt and out-maneuver it.

Ahhh .. Trump a carnival barker like Italy’s Berlusconi? A great article today in the Seattle Times: www.seattletimes.com/…

As it says re Berlusconi:

“His secret was an ability to set off a Pavlovian reaction among his leftist opponents,” Zingales wrote of Berlusconi in The New York Times. Sound familiar?

“The only times Berlusconi lost was when opponents instead ran conventional campaigns focused on issues. By treating Berlusconi as a normal politician, they neutered his carnival power, Zingales reports.

“The point is: Don’t take the bait. Don’t overreact to Trump’s bluster … “

The Republicans for years have said they wanted to trash ACA no-matter-what … and although they *say* there will be a replacement, we all know they don’t want one … they want to abandon the nation’s health to increase the wealth of the 1%.

To hell with politics. It’s not important who provides it, as long as it is provided.

Donald Trump *says* there will be a replacement … so … let’s push him to act on what he says.

I’ve started a petition on Change.org, as follows:

“President-elect Trump: Ensure that a replacement for the ACA (Obamacare) is enacted simultaneously with any repeal of it. Hold on your desk all bills from Congress calling for removal of all or part of the ACA (Obamacare) until Congress has submitted for your signature bills for an adequate replacement. Sign the bills simultaneously.” The petition is at www.change.org/…

If Republicans Trash ACA, Ensure It's Replaced Simultneously

It looks like the Republicans are going to trash ACA no-matter-what … there *might* be little that can stop them … and although they *say* there will be a replacement, will there be one? :(
