A vase sits on the edge of a table - has been there for months. Then "suddenly" someone bumps the table and the vase crashes to the floor. Upset reigns, who gets blamed - whoever bumped the table.

American politics has been moving towards the edge of the table for decades. Poor choices, ineffectual Congress, vested interests, Citizens United, on and on. Trump bumped the table and the vase crashed to the floor. He didn't start it. He simply fit the bill. Vacuous, vain, corrupt, narcissistic. The perfect dupe. And Americans - poised to blame someone, anyone who did them wrong.

No, Trump is an avatar, the Top Hat piece on a Monopoly board. Damn it - just follow the money. Billions are being spent to fund the further corruption of the system. Influence is the root of any corrupted system.

Even Baseball - a relatively simple game - gets corrupted by vaseline and stickum.
