I think we political people on all sides are guilty of this

Let’s beat people with facts, not pointless name-calling, okay?

Both sides engage in "playing" the fans (voters), to maintain their illusion of true relevance, and to diminish the appeal of potential rivals (third parties).

@VeronicaPrincess As much as I like Trump, I'm willing to admit that he 'performs' to his base like a court jester, but that can also be seen as good political tactics . I'm fatalistic about the whole mess. I know Trump is oafish and arrogant. I know he is no saint and probably knows very little about what it is like to be one of the working poor, or a single mom, or someone who falls through the health insurance cracks, etc etc.., I just like what he has done and what he wants to do, and I am an inexhaustible compendium of anti leftist rhetoric and vitriol, because I hate the leftist mindset with every fiber of my being.
