re: How would Trump have fared if he was president 40 years ago?

Trumps policies would have been received well but not his antics

40 years ago we did not have social media so Americans did not have instant access to every word. We also did not have to be inundated with opinions posted from every goofball with a keyboard and internet access.

Trump would have never grown into the phenomena that he is if everyone had to go read the newspaper or watch the evening news. It takes more effort now to avoid what passes as “news” than it used to take to actively seek the news.

The whole damn system is broken and both parties use it to their advantage. Wish we could get back to the old fashioned debates.
