The fact that so many people don& #39;t vote worries me.
Here& #39;s the thing about democracy: If a majority of voters no longer want it, it will cease to exist. If a majority of voters don& #39;t put in the work, it will cease to exist.

Trump& #39;s talent is controlling the national conversation. He manipulates everyone.
