Approval

Sometimes the writing on the wall is hard to see as is the case with how the people around the world view their politics. It started with Brexit in England and followed with Trump. Even during the primaries experts failed to see the warning when Bernie beat Hilary in Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota. This Sunday there is an election in France with two outsiders running. It would be like a presidential election here with the Green Party candidate running against the Libertarian candidate. Trumps approval rating at 40% is still higher than the rating for congress and for the press. It is clear that people are not happy with their government and are crying out for change. It may one day swing back but it will be different. How different, who knows?
