13. It is frightening that someone that ignorant has power.

He uses his power to help the more powerful, so he is useful to them. I just wish ordinary people would pay attention and realize that Todd and the pundits like him are dangerous. They feel they are above all the rest of us, a protected class of useful tools. Since they are immune to the harsh realities the rest of us face, they will not seek the truth about what is going on. The looting of the wealth of this country by the 1% is being ignored by the pundit class. I do not think it is all self-serving. Many of them are just too stupid to understand what is going on. Todd being the prime example. He thinks he is a brilliant analyst, but he is unable to comprehend what is happening, as in not able to recognize a sewage treatment plant. Clueless, really

Your analysis is much more succinct and to the point than mine.
