(9,090 posts)10. we're still failing the real test - trump is a symptom of ignoring talk radio
here's the basic math that americans with brains ignore - this is why we have trump, and bush and palin before him:
at a cheap $1000/hr x 15hrs/day x 5 = $75,000/wk x 1200 stations rw talk radio is worth $18MIL/day or 390MIL$ /month or 4.68 BIL$/ year FREE for coordinated global warming denial, pro republican free market deregulation and wall st think tank propaganda, swiftboating, and the hate and fear used to get people to vote republican.
we still fail, bigly, don't even poll for it

30% of America. Not the 70% of those who didn't vote for him or didn't vote. There's that.

I see. But with Donald as the prize voting or not voting was part of the test.
