We had more money, we had more billionaires, and we lost. We have sucky policies that we can't even talk about without fear of being excommunicated.

Trump is one of the least popular politicians ever elected. Trump isn't running in 28, or 26. We have no backbench. We've become so doctrinaire that no one is on record as being against bad policies. I sure hope someone new steps up to run.
