We could have all used your insight. Most of the people I know were shocked about Collin Powell, Bush, Romney, Paul Ryan and Gowdy. I was shocked about Romney. Trump has really helped us identify the swamp. I see the other side seeing it as well. Those that are not have gone 100% activism and Marxist.

I actually typed up a comment with my entire political history in campaigns, primaries and generals as concerns the Presidential election but I would end up doxxing myself.

Suffice it to say, I was one of those crazies railing against NAFTA and the Council of Foreign Relations back in the 1990's. I was almost constantly railroaded by my own party. I also consistently saw Republicans in Minnesota like Michelle Bachmann railroaded while "republicans" like Arne Carlson and Tim Pawenty were lauded. Turns my stomach!

You sound like someone who gets a lot of free drinks in exchange for stories. Bachmann was awesome and I think people started to see the impact of fake news through digital marketing at that time. You should find all those that worked in that circle and put together a collection of short stories. It would be a best seller.

I had a boss that wrote speeches for many politicians. He was very story telling but nothing funny or crazy. He was boring but gave you hope some good politicians existed.
