Listening to @Gingrich_of_PA as I'm working. Had to crop this to share, B/C it's really the central 2020 Q.

2020 will decide what America looks like as a society, labor & culture.

Trump's opposition is bipartisan b/c of $, economics, folks, not morality.
@Gingrich_of_PA There are plenty of policy args to make over Donald Trump. And I TRULY miss when we used to decide elections by debating policy.

But those days are over.

Our elites support/oppose pols based on selfish economic/financial interests, but couch those in terms of morality.

It's BS
@Gingrich_of_PA As an example, when Paul Ryan used to say he opposed Donald Trump or pulled his endorsement over an "offensive" videotape, what he really means is that he's been waiting for a moment to serve his benefactors, who lobbied mucho $$$ for TPP.

It's nonsense, folks. Total BS.
@Gingrich_of_PA And just to be clear, I'm not talking about average voters who oppose Donald Trump.

I'm talking about the halls of power and the political class, and making the point they use morality to couch their real interests.

To hide them from those voters.

It's money, not morality.
@Gingrich_of_PA So, whether you agree or disagree with Adam's political persuasion is irrelevant to the point. Which everyone should take a moment to listen to, because that's the real question whether you want to acknowledge it or not.
