  1. Of course, Styx is partisan! After all, he seems persuaded that the "Libertarian Party" is somehow politically viable! When has that ever happened?!

  2. The truly important thing about Trump as president is his DEMEANOR! The image he projects is very different from the political norm. Some think "straight talk" is what "political speak" was invented to avoid; others see "political speak" as a nebulous evil, a perversion of communication designed to facilitate "fence-sitting" and "plausible deniability", like, "that's not what I said"..."Political speak" specializes in equivocation, and that's why it's the currency of modern politics. As long as everybody's walking on eggshells only small, unimportant things can happen. "Straight talk" cuts through the crap, getting to the point of the matter directly. With the issue laid bare, consensus is more readily achievable on what action to take; and it will be effective action...a large, important thing. It's a shining of light into the shadows where lurk those who would use obscure language to cloak their nefarious deeds--whichs account for the widespread visceral disdain for Trump: he's blowing up their game! Politicians who speak the truth are working themselves out of a job! From a populist perspective, that's the whole idea!
