Why We Need To Do More Than Call Trump Dumb
Donald Trump is known as the dumbest president but should we focus on serious critiques of Donald Trump that go beyond his lack of intelligence?
Is it enough to call Donald Trump dumb or should we be calling him dangerous?

Was Iowa A Victory For LGBT Americans?
Iowa's primary election results were delayed so much that many are calling it rigged. But behind all the controversy, could it be a win for LGBT Americans?
Although Iowa is not known for diversity, Americans showed up for two candidates, one a member of the LGBT community, Pete Buttigieg, and another, a Jewish Senator Bernie Sanders.
Whatever happens in the elections, this could be a victory for many Americans and point towards a great future.
Do you think that Americans voting for LGBT and Jewish candidates is a sign of the times for America or a turning point in history?
What about Mitt Romney going against Donald Trump?

2020 Win For Progressives Means Disrupting Trump
Americans love disruptors and always have. It’s part of our political DNA, stretching all the way back to the American Revolution... and it may take a disruptor to stop Trump.
Thomas Jefferson ran for president as a disruptor, dedicated to bringing down the conservative regime of John Adams who had already put more than 20 newspaper owners in prison for saying bad things about him. Andrew Jackson ran as a disruptor, promising to close the Second Bank of America and return economic power to average Americans. Abraham Lincoln’s disruption, although painful, altered our country forever for the better. Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt massively disrupted the fabric of America, and Americans loved them for it. Jack Kennedy ran for president as a disruptor, and after he was assassinated his vice president, Lyndon Johnson, lead one of the largest revolutions in American history with the Great Society and the Civil and Voting Rights Acts. Bill Clinton campaigned as a disruptor, although he failed in that; Barack Obama promised disruption - “Change!” - and brought us a historic presidency and the Affordable Care Act.
Donald Trump ran as a disruptor and now sits in the White House. If Democrats want to take the White House back from Trump, they can’t do it by being “nice“ or promising to “work with Republicans across the aisle.“ The American people know that things are not right, and they want someone to blow the system up, metaphorically speaking, the way all those presidents just listed have in the past. This election is not about left or right, socialism or capitalism, or any other of the conventional wisdom.
It’s about status quo versus disruptors. And a disruptor will win against Trump.
