Starting to see the body politic...

With some realism.

I saw an analysis on Rachel Maddow. If I'm good I'll find the link and put it here for you.

2017:  Dems 38%. Republicans 22%

2013: Dems 37%. Republicans 86%.

Same question. The swing was 64% on the Republican side. 1%on the Democratic side.

Just to put a pin in it. Exact same important question. "Do you support an American air strike over Syria?"

The truths to pull?

Democrats care about issues.
Republicans respect party.
Dems didn't seem to care who was on office for their view.
The only thing that was considered by Republicans is who is leading, even when it's international.
Which is scary.
Democrats tend to be on the right side of history... Wonder why? Less influenced by personality.

So what? What that really means Republicans are victim to the cult of personality. The issues will never be persuasive to them.

Trump's going to get re elected. So long as personality rules the political landscape. They have the more compelling personalities.

Period. The Democratic party had to begin to understand it.
Nicole needs to understand it. It's not just politics.

Something to use. I have life to catch up.

Facts are facts. But as I was telling someone, and I really should listen to myself more. They are only as important as the import we place upon them.

Gravitas is all about how much import things have.

Nicole, start paying attention to people's import.

Nicole. How do you influence, deflate, manipulate people's import?

Start with the little things.

And for goodness sake, stop thinking your import matters simply because it's yours!!
