Food for thought.[embedded content]Responses?You cannot help but notice that some of the worst people on the American political spectrum hate Trump: namely, libertarians, Neoconservatives, free trade conservatives, the free trade liberals, the neoliberal Democrats, liberal interventionists, and the regressive left.

Hillary, we learn, thinks Wall Street should regulate itself:
“*Clinton Said Financial Reform “Really Has To Come From The Industry Itself.” *’Remember what Teddy Roosevelt did. Yes, he took on what he saw as the excesses in the economy, but he also stood against the excesses in politics. He didn't want to unleash a lot of nationalist, populistic reaction. He wanted to try to figure out how to get back into that balance that has served America so well over our entire nationhood.
