Exactly.

It’s hard for people to separate the two (personal vs. professional). One can filter over into the other but, for the most part, they can and should be separated.

A friend saw Reich the other day and offered to help him carry his flat screen TV. An angry Reich informed him it was his IPad!

Hmm let see

Lowest labor participation rate since 1978

Maybe they are listening Mr Reich because the progressive polices you, and the rest of the Politcal class, have embraced have so utterly failed for 30 years to do anything but destroy the US working class?

I have to laugh. Reich, One of the biggest Clinonite pimps of Crony Capitalism writes here whining about Crony Capitalism!

But did you not hear? Obama has created more jobs then Reagan! /s

Of course the fact that population of the USA is 100 million larger then it was in 1988 was curiously missed by the “news media” on this issue.

Mr Reich,

The things that resonates about Trump is he has proven leadership skills and he brings an outsider view.

For the last 30 years we have elected career politicians to DC. Most notably your personal hero Bill Clinton Mr Reich.

Career politicians see everything in terms of politics. They look for a political answer to any problem. We need someone who will look at the problem, listen to his advisers, then say “this is the right thing to do” rather then “this is the politically correct thing to do”.

For a change we need to send someone to DC who has the leadership skills to surround himself with good people, the habit of listening to the advice of those experts instead of his political advisers, and the backbone to make the tough decisions. We need someone to go to DC and say “this, this and this is nonsense, we aren’t doing that any more no matter what the Donor class says”

A career politician, being part of the party machine, is not even going to see those issues in that light. Instead he is going to see the politics of the issue. It just how they are wired.

So Trump, the big money corporatist is going to stand up against the big money corporatists? Gotcha...

By the way I've got some fabulous land in central south Florida to sell you and a rare one of a kind bridge in New York...let me know if you're interested.

They should rename ‘Salon’ and call it ‘Bullsh*t, Lies, and Nonsense’ and let it go out as that.

Don’t vote for him, but you need to find something else to hang your hat on. “Thrice married”....tell me, how did you feel about the twice married Reagan?

I might make you feel cold too.... I am on my 3rd wife. Just last week we celebrated our 44th anniversary and our Honeymoon has never stopped.

I hope Cruz finds a way to break through to the top, but it seems doubtful at the moment, perhaps tonight will do it.

If you ever see me running for an office, don’t vote for me, I have been “thrice married”.

Here’s the truth Robert Reich - we see Democrats as liars and totalitarians. They hate us, they hate our values and they happily bring in 30 million illegals to keep themselves in power (illegals are the new blacks) - then they turn to us and tell us to court the abortion vote.

We hate them.

Robert Reich did you see the ‘ever so gentle liberal elite professor’ on the Missouri campus? “We need some muscle over here to beat dis guy’s face in - he’s mouthin’ off” Yes, she would grind her boots into our faces for eternity - and we know it.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD.” (Isaiah 55:8)

God works in ways we don’t often understand. He works through men and women, young and old, rich and poor, and through Black, White, Brown, and Yellow people!

Rich men in the Holy Bible God used for His Glory?:

Solomon
Abraham
Isaac
David
Job
Joseph

Go Trump! I pray God uses you too!

A beautiful response. Still despise the man, but that was a very nice response.

Such a wonderful point!

I will add that often God used not the best people to achieve His goals.
