Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, our elected government doesn't run the show. High school is the model here. The student council argues over what color to paint the garbage cans while the real decisions about how to run the school are made behind closed doors by adults. The reason no elected politician has been able to extricate us from the endless, senseless, expensive wars in the Middle East is because somebody else is running that show. It is to the credit of the voters that like high school students expressing their general resentment by electing a pig to be homecoming queen, the American voters have elected Trump president. Hopefully the election of this clown is the seed from which will grow a second American revolution.
