I recommend tonight's "The Circus" on Showtime.

The reporter Mark Halprin travelled around to several areas of the country this last week to ask regular people about Trump.
It's interesting hearing what various people, both for and against, say about Trump.
Surprisingly some of the most informed opinions came from a class of 5th graders.
The very last comment from a black woman in New Orleans was worth thinking about.

"My grandfather was born in 1912, my grandmother in 1930s and even before I took history and understood what the country was like then, the stories they shared with us were stories of fun and joy. They weren't stories shared out of pain and fear and so if they overcame those things, we can get through this. This is nothing. "

I hope she's right.

It's Season 2 Episode 3.
