22. Obama is brilliant. Absolutely no dummy at all. But he, himself, the 60 minutes interview

Said that he could have framed issues better, that he was best at election politics.

Hillary lost to someone who kept saying "Crooked Hillary" with almost every statement he made regarding Sen. Clinton and this stock with many of trump's supporters. Very juvenile, very lowbrow, but in the long run, it seems to have been very effective.

One of my favorite quotes is out of Sen. Paul Wellstone, who said, "If I am on fire, it's because I have icebergs of indifference to melt!"

My own two cents.
