From Nation of Change

It is important for us to continue to organize and mobilize across the country around populist issues and local campaigns.

What an election year. I feel like I've been transported through a cosmic squirrel hole and into a baffling political universe where facts are fiction, bizarre is normal and corruption is a virtue. Am I hallucinating? Or has this insanity really happened?

Since I can't yet conjure up the deep meanings (or lack thereof) in this year's national vote, I'll offer instead a reflection on some of the oddities from this rutted and pot-holed general election road we've traveled, jouncing through the destruction brought largely by the furies howling from deep within The Donald.

Trump on his own splendiforousness:

"No one RESPECTS WOMEN more than me."

"Nobody BUILDS WALLS better than me, believe me."

"MY IQ is one of the highest."

"Nobody knows more about TAXES than me."

"Nobody knows BANKING better than I do."

"I have a great relationship with THE BLACKS."

"There's nobody that's done so much for EQUALITY as I have."

"I'm the LEAST RACIST person you'll ever meet."
