2012 US General Election Discussions: Start to Finish

I was mulling this over while having coffee this morning wondering why is this newsworthy? Has Donald Trump become that important a figure in the landscape of the USA? Or is his opinion just a sign of the times?

I miss the country we once were. We used to run the place, I think, based on a certain set of values and principles guided by a certain ideology to protect the wellbeing of the collective people.

We have become, it seems, a different place. We have become a place where economics has become our ideology, and certain values and principles have become paramount as a result. And, these things are not only in direct opposition to the wellbeing of the collective people, money is systematically and deliberately being used to change the behavior and beliefs of the collective to bring them into the fold of the economic ideology. And, the scary part is, it is working brilliantly.

The paradigm shift is very odd. Fascinating.
