57. The German press has been reporting on the USA with better analysis than our own press

I don't need to tell them anything. They know the score. I'm just along as a real live Texas Democrat who speaks German. They know the national scene. They want me to comment on obscure stuff their correspondents might not have gotten into, like the Senate races in Alaska or Maine, or what Mark Kelly is like in person, that kind of thing. If there is one country that does NOT need the evils of fascism explained to them, it's Germany!
