Shocker! It's Not Trump That's the Problem Karel Cast #251

Shocker! It's Not Trump That's the Problem Karel Cast #251 Donald Trump is not the disease. He is a major symptom of a long-festering illness that is now taking over America.

They are content to be ignorant of civics, of the real principles of our nation, and of their duty to it. It's too easy to bl...
