54% : We can see this idea fully realized in the contrast between the fluidity of the federal government and the rigidity of state elections in Illinois.
48% : Federalist No. 10 suggests federal intervention as the solution to break the grip of factions controlling politics.
42% : I have never seen a single president other than No. 45 and the soon-to-be No. 47 given headlines that repeatedly contain the word "threatens.
39% : With all his accomplishments, how could Trump not be Time's Person of the Year for the second time?
36% : Unfortunately, U.S. Supreme Court rulings such as Lamone v. Benisek and Gill v. Whitford have made federal action unlikely, so we must rely on social movements to push for change.
22% : Why can't the Tribune's headline writers invent a new verb to use since what Donald Trump is really doing is trying to sound tough and bully, create fear and terrorize others while virtually all of his "threats" are hollow and come to nothing?
