It’s a blood sport and like all blood sports there will be cheaters skewing the results. The problem arises when you get people who don’t understand that the game ends after the votes are counted winning elections. These people may win at the polls, but they are not leaders.

Re: OT: To our British Pentxians
Bob, I guess one could come up with a definition. The said definition will be of no practical sense except for people who chose to occupy themselves with MPUs - Minimal Publishable Unit... Either way, I would gladly see this thread turn into a pun sequence, preferably not converging one, in case you insist we keep our tongues sharply precise.

Re: OT: To our British Pentxians
Thank you. The whole business is quite fascinating, as a great historical moment, and perhaps not as bad as it may appear from a distance. People are getting overwrought about it all, and will wake up feeling rather sheepish and embarrassed about it one day. It's full of amusing little ironies. As I mentioned to someone the other day, we have the Brexit side dismissing the economic warnings of the Remain side as 'Project Fear' while at the same time, and with no hint of irony or self-awareness, threatening right-wing violence and civil disruption if they don't get their way, claiming all the while that it would be undemocratic to allow people to vote.

Haven't you heard about Donald Jr, and Eric? And his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, plays a major role in the White House. Gov Christie, formerly governor of New Jersey and a candidate in the presidential primaries, was kicked off the team because as a US Attorney he prosecuted Jared's father and family business.
