One more "doable" for Scott - Campaign finance reform. It doesn't matter who you vote for if when they get to congress, they represent their donors rather than the voters. We could call our current system "free speech" or we could call it "legalized bribery." We made the wrong choice.

Donald Trump's only virtue is that what you see really is what you get.

He bluntly asked for $1 billion in campaign funding from oil companies in exchange for government policy that will benefit the oil business. Everything is transactional with Trump:

transactional is preferable for many people.

to paraphrase Aristotle Onassis, never trust anyone who won't take a bribe

A system where you can buy politicians is not democracy.
