The system has huge flaws, including this one. The "let's give rural states a fair voice" idea is now way out of line. Like having a 50 yard race between an 8 yr old and an adult, and the headstart you give the 8 yr old is 5 yards from the finish line.

Trump is a complete fraud. He he ran for president talking non-stop about how he was going to lower costs "on Day One." And not only has he not done that, he's made costs skyrocket even further - and once prices really went through the roof, he then mocked the problem. #FlipCongressBlue

If Trump’s approach to self-soothing involves lying about crowd sizes, so be it. But when he declares publicly that journalists “should be arrested for their dishonesty and disservice to our Country,” I find it tough to shrug and look away. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

If the president wants to lie about crowd sizes, that’s pitiful. But when he talks about arresting reporters without cause, don’t look away.
