Presidential elections will be about money and TV ads, despite the Twitter elements. But you can still work the social media a bit. Facebook will put in some heavy editing by 2020.
Judy Woodruff:

President Carter, there’s such a high level of polarization in this country right now, and you write about it in the book.

It’s rural vs. urban. It’s left vs. right, red vs. blue. Do you think there’s a way to get beyond this?

Jimmy Carter:

I think a lot of it is due to the massive influx of money into the campaigns.

When I ran against Gerald Ford, who was the president of the United States then, you know how much money we raised for the general elections? Zero.

I would like to see the money aspect to elections reduced in this country dramatically.
Judy Woodruff:

The Supreme Court, though, has said money is speech.

Jimmy Carter:

The Supreme Court — I don’t have much confidence in the Supreme Court doing this.

But one thing that the Supreme Court is considering that would help is to do away with the gerrymandering. That is the acquisition of power by either the Republican or Democratic Party within a state.

Judy Woodruff:

I talk to people all around the country who say — and I’m sure you hear it — that they feel that members of families can’t even talk among themselves about American politics.

Jimmy Carter:

That’s true.

I think that the massive use of money and the power that goes to the people who give a lot of money to a candidate has resulted in this vast disparity in income in America, and has resulted in the polarization more than any other single factor.

Trump fucks porn star and the numbers....do nothing.
... both showed the president’s job approval rating jumping seven points in the last month. Both, as it happens, had the same numbers both months: 35 percent in February and 42 percent in March. So once again, the speculation began: What might be lifting Trump’s popularity? Was it the economy or the tax bill? And was this the beginning of a rise that could stun the world this November, and then keep him in office through (yikes!) 2024?

In this and every other situation involving polls, it’s generally wise to look at averages rather than isolated polls, which are subject to all sorts of statistical “noise” and issues with samples, methodologies, and timing. Looking at the RealClearPolitics averages, on February 15, when the AP poll went into the field, Trump’s approval rating was 42.1 percent. On March 14 when the latest AP poll went into the field, the average rating was 41.0 percent, down just over a point. No “spike” for Trump there. Similarly, on February 20, when CNN began its polling for that month, Trump’s approval rating was at 41.9 percent. On March 22, when the latest polling began, it was at 41.6 percent. No Trump Bump there, either.

But again, the averages aren’t so dramatic. His low point at RCP was 37.0 percent on December 12, and his high point, which he’s equaling right now, was 42.2 percent. That’s nice for him, but less exciting when you realize that his average approval rating was roughly the same in May and September of last year.

Trump the businessman, operating by "gut feel". Don't give me those numbers.
President Donald Trump on Thursday returned to one of his favorite targets, attacking online retail giant Amazon over taxes, its effect on brick-and-mortar stores and one other thing that caused some head-scratching.

Trump said Amazon uses “our Postal System as their Delivery Boy.”

That has people wondering: Isn’t the United States Postal Service supposed to be in the delivery business?

The USPS says on its website that it’s “the only delivery service that reaches every address in the nation,” and notes that it delivers 47 percent of the world’s mail.

Trump seems to imply that the company’s heavy use of the USPS is, as he tweeted, “causing tremendous loss to the U.S.”

“That’s actually the solution right now,” former Postmaster General Jack Potter told The Wall Street Journal. “It’s well justified that they deliver those packages, and they make money on it.”

While Trump has attacked Amazon for its use of the USPS before, its contract by law is reviewed and has to be profitable, CBS News notes.

Trump: "As your president, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology,"

But an oppressive and hateful domestic ideology is something you're just going to have to put up with.

"Governor Jerry 'Moonbeam' Brown pardoned 5 criminal illegal aliens whose crimes include (1) Kidnapping and Robbery (2) Badly beating wife and threatening a crime with intent to terrorize (3) Dealing drugs. Is this really what the great people of California want?," the President tweeted, along with a tag to Fox News.

White House chaos jeopardizes war on ISIS, U.S. commanders warn

“We’re on the two-yard line,” one U.S. special forces commander told NBC News. “We’re that close and now it’s coming apart.”

KOBANI, Syria — The secret military base here is the epicenter of a four-year-old U.S.-led war against the Islamic State that American commanders say has succeeded in killing nearly 65,000 fighters.

But just as the terrorist group looks to be on the brink of defeat, senior officials worry that their efforts will be wasted.

Some U.S. commanders say what they perceive as a lack of guidance from the White House — which sent Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster packing in a 9-day span — is threatening their mission to destroy ISIS. Cracks are showing in America's alliance with the Kurds of northern Syria, who question whether they can rely on the U.S. under President Donald Trump.

"We’re on the two-yard line. We could literally fall into the end zone. We’re that close to total victory, to wiping out the ISIS caliphate in Syria,” one U.S. special forces commander told NBC News. “We’re that close and now it’s coming apart.”

More than a half-dozen senior officials interviewed by NBC News shared the commander’s views.

Jimmy, Jimmy, get with the program! The theme is: AMerica first!
Jimmy Carter: 'Apparently' America wants a jerk for president
During a Friday appearance on "The Late Show," host Stephen Colbert asked the 93-year-old former president whether America wants "kind of a jerk as president."

"Apparently, from this recent election, yes," Carter quipped, drawing a wave of laughter.

At the same time, Carter – who was promoting a new book titled Faith: A Journey for All – acknowledged that he "prays" for the current president.

"I pray that he'll be a good president and that he'll keep our country at peace; and that he'll refrain from using nuclear weapons and that he'll promote human rights," Carter said. "So, yeah, I pray for him."

I have a question. Can Mexicans not get tourist visas for the US? So, what can the border wall even do? Can Mexicans not just enter the us with a tourist visa and then go underground?

That happens a lot, although we don't have good numbers as to how many of our undocumented residents came that way. I've seen estimates of up to 45 percent.
