27. So totally agree about the sane voices. Let's hope Dean's Berlin talk does get some coverage.

It's a shame that Hillary's appearances haven't been covered because she has had so much to say about the international effects of the Putin/Russia election intervention.

On another note, it's so reassuring that Al Gore is still an international icon with his climate change platform. Trump is such a rotten caricature of the ugly American that anything sane is welcome and a sight for sore eyes. We know that the Republicans have to maintain a large percentage of their craziness to appeal to their base here, and they have really gone off the deep end. It's all very unnerving. Look forward to your further reports on what you see over there! thx
