In the 2016 election, the country found a way to elect someone who was the polar opposite of President Obama. From a calm, educated orator to a loud, crass, functional illiterate. From a champion of the environment to the champion of big business. From a president who would speak to all Americans to one that speaks only to his base.
So which of the candidates would you say is the most polar opposite of Trump? Would it be one of the women, like Warren? Or is the first openly gay president the furthest polar opposite?
I don't know. Is there a highly intelligent, soft-spoken, courageous Muslim-Mexican-American lesbian from an impoverished background who worked her way through college to earn a PhD in climate science, has a detailed knowledge of world history, reads several books per week, and is known for her humility, compassion, and grace under fire?
That would be the polar opposite.

I'm sorry, but I cannot abide this man as president. He sounds like a demented 10-year-old. How anyone can believe he is fit is beyond my comprehension. He speaks less eloquently than my elderly mother who has Alzheimer's.I've truly tried to understand the Trump supporter who...

First of all, every President pardons people and many have made very questionable decisions with regard to pardons. However, Trump's most recent pardons are pretty interesting and, generally, unnecessary in my view.We can assume that Trump believes he's righting injustices, so what does he believes...
