Dana Bash on the ripple effects of an election: "Without George W. Bush...who knows what would have happened after 9/11...it's hard to imagine [Gore] taking it into Iraq...Without Iraq, hard to imagine we get Barack Obama. Without Barack Obama, hard to imagine we get Donald Trump."

I’ve made this argument repeatedly. Bush v. Gore changed the entire course of history. Without it, we also wouldn’t have had Citizens United which unilaterally destroyed our elections. Also with Gore we might not have been in as bad of a climate disaster as we are today.

Fun fact: the majority of the current sitting Supreme Court Justices, Roberts being one, were DIRECTLY involved… in some capacity… with that case. This whole thing has been long in play… basically a continuation of The Business Plot

This! Plus everyone thought Obama was crazy for implementing government run healthcare when in reality billionaires thought it was crazy and had republicans not destroyed it - this would have put us on par with most of the other industrialized nations
