    But it is precisely Trump’s refusal to be respectable that helps him spark debates that elites would rather avoid. And sometimes, those debates are important to have.

I don't have anything nice to say about Donald Trump but he's at least interesting. He's a billionaire but he was also the only person on the debate stage defending progressive taxation. I hope he fucks a bunch of shit up for the republicans. That other article today has me discouraged about the democrats doing anything so everyone can just choke on national political dysfunction
