Ummmm no it isn't doing well.
Maybe that's why you should stick to poisoning the environment and lying about the causes of it.
You are a buffoon.
Jill Stein on CNN town hall tonight. Imo, worth watching.

Paul Ryan and Greenspan worshiped Rand. Those guys are crony spokesmodels.
They believe in bankers and pretended to believe in Rand.
Christians believe in private charity.
Our govt butchers unborn children... how is that moral.
Big govt butchers peoples rights...
Big socialist gov't has historically butchered liberty and people looking at the USSR and China.

“Now here's somebody who wants to smoke a marijuana cigarette. If he's caught, he goes to jail. Now is that moral? Is that proper? I think it's absolutely disgraceful that our government, supposed to be our government, should be in the position of converting people who are not harming others into criminals, of destroying their lives, putting them in jail. That's the issue to me. The economic issue comes in only for explaining why it has those effects. But the economic reasons are not the reasons”

“Well first of all, tell me: Is there some society you know that doesn’t run on greed? You think Russia doesn’t run on greed? You think China doesn’t run on greed? What is greed? Of course, none of us are greedy, it’s only the other fellow who’s greedy. The world runs on individuals pursuing their separate interests. The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn’t construct his theory under order from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn’t revolutionize the automobile industry that way. In the only cases in which the masses have escaped from the kind of grinding poverty you’re talking about, the only cases in recorded history, are where they have had capitalism and largely free trade. If you want to know where the masses are worse off, worst off, it’s exactly in the kinds of societies that depart from that. So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear, that there is no alternative way so far discovered of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by the free-enterprise system.”

That'll never happen...He is experiencing cognitive dissonance, I'm sure most of the Hillary supporters will arrive at that stage shortly...They identify with a political party first, then shape their beliefs around the ever changing narrative...
For instance, if this current administration or Hillary acts or supports some policy that would have been commonplace under Dubya's administration, they go radio silent...No critique, no outrage, just blind allegiance...OTOH, I have seen comments by some hardcore liberals that have given up (long ago) on this current admin. for a variety of principled reasons...At least in my eyes I can respect that...No narrative shaping, re-adjusting expectations, rationalizing policy shifts, etc, etc...
Speaking of diversion. Seems like the media has lost it's focus on the plight of all those poor folk in Louisiana this time around. Wonder why.
brilliant captain.
I was absolutely wondering when someone was going to blame fema and the administration.
Sadly, we know that there will only be token time given to this issue.
