No, I would say ability too. Why? Because its a really bad idea to
conflate "liberal ideas" with "Democrat ideas". The Democrats... don't
always have any that are any more sensible than the right.

True, and there is hope in that, but.. its going to be the public that
push for this, not the politicians. The question is.. will Trump, and
the current bunch of halfwits in the government going to be enough to

agree with the idea of a rethink of a lot of policy.. its not happening.
