Mr. Neimeyer you must know that the primary reason Americans think the country is going in the wrong direction is because of the grid locked, do nothing congress on the state as well as national level. If the nation really wanted change then they wouldn't have reelected Young, Murkowski, McCain and all the rest of the career politicians who are responsible for that gridlocked filibuster abusing mess that is the GOP controlled congress both state and national. We had a good chance to change our delegation with candidates who would not have been beholden to multinational corporate campaign contributors on day one but Alaska and the nation opted for the status quo. On the presidential level we see trump filling his administration with the very same financial bigs and lobbyists that he promised to drain from the swamp so expect no changes from him for sure. He doesn't even know what it takes to staff the White House let alone govern a diverse nation of immigrants like America. Frustrating.
