The people aren’t with the same old same old. They know they deserve more and want it. They want candidates who actually knock on doors and earn votes. They want something to vote for and not just against. They want a vision and an understanding of their issues - like the rent being too damn high.

The Iran deal the Obama Admin negotiated (JCPOA) took years and had the involvement of many other countries. Our current president thought he could negotiate a better deal in less than 6 months, alone with a real estate investor as his lead negotiator.1/
