excerpt:

With the myriad of media reports exposing the overt manipulations of the GOP Establishment in disenfranchising millions of Donald Trump supporters, I could not help but recall one of my all time favorite scenes from one of my all time favorite films.

It’s not so hard to imagine these words spoken by Al Pacino being directed at the Republican power brokers who deem themselves morally superior to the voters who make their very existence possible.

And like Al Pacino's performance, every last bit of Donald Trump's schtick is an act. A well-performed act, but fiction nonetheless.

This is government, not a movie.
