Tornado Alley (PROG)

[janice shell]

Well yes, on and off we've been--as a nation--fascinated by cowboys. There was nothing else on TV when I was a kid. Pretty much.

Though while Barry Goldwater did wear a white cowboy hat, it never seemed to me that he had a cowboy persona.

This isn't really what I think:

He appears incapable of understanding that global trade does not mean the U.S. is getting ripped off. Now he appears unconcerned that other countries could in fact work together against the United States. He seems to assume they will have to do what he says.

If, in fact, Trump succeeds in asserting his dominance over the United States of America and over the globe, the Republicans will have succeeded in replacing American democracy with a dictatorship, and they will have rebalanced global power."

What Trump appears to me to be is "stupid". And my own faint hope is that his fans will figure that out before it's too late.
