"There is no simple explanation for anything important any of us do, and the human tragedy, or the human irony, consists in the necessity of living with the consequences of actions performed under the pressure of compulsions so obscure we do not and cannot understand them." - H. MacLennan

It used to be that one editorial or a really good editorial cartoon could significantly damage a political candidate. Everyone shared the same media experience, and one unflattering and bitingly accurate portrayal would topple a government.
Now everyone's media experience is fragmented and curated.

We really need the science on the deleterious effects of male hormone replacement therapy.
I’m sorry, but a goofy looking guy who grew up a privileged son of a pediatrician and has a phd in social theory from the university of Goethe and started in tech by investing an inheritance left to him by his grandfather talking about being a “dude” is very, very funny to me.

America should just let him design "Trumpcare" as a single company that provides all the Healthcare to everyone, paid for by the treasury.
Trump: "Obamacare has turned out to be a disaster as I've been saying for years. It can be fixed or redone. People don't get good healthcare and their premiums go up every single year. So we should change it. Obamacare is bad healthcare at a very high price."
