The countless scattered voices in thousands of other gyms or other places where people gather and unintentionally find themselves embroiled in heated political discussion often represent more of the nation's voice than they're given credit for.
But it's still what takes place deep inside the mind that is at the heart of the deeper mission and quest for a better tomorrow.
The people, they all still talk and debate, even in the face of 24 hour news cycle soothsayers with platforms who attempt to convince them that they are either out of touch, perhaps outside the norm, somehow destroying any efforts at unity, which in itself is a ridiculous notion in the end. This is after all, part of the beauty of a free political system, where no matter how much power some believe they have in shaping opinion, it is in the end, individuals who still think and ultimately decide for themselves.
Perhaps, the chit and chat occurring inside this spec of space within the 35 square mile island that is Manhattan, here deep inside this, the nation's biggest city, has its ear closer to the ground that is America, and yet again, that's why this all continues with the hope that whoever wins keeps their ear to their finger on the pulse of that which is all of America.
