Each day brings a new trial, literally, a new embarrassment, a new folly. By now it’s clear that Trump hauls off and pitches his latest fantasy project as he once did casinos and condos. Often they are ill-conceived, and not fully thought out. Those with knowledge in whatever field he’s plowing could save him from himself, but why let reality mess with a dream.

So, the mess at the border launched with braggadocio soon descended into catastrophe, but doesn’t go away. For example, a judge has threatened to cite the Attorney General for contempt for trying to deport a family whose case was being heard in the judge’s court. He ordered them brought back and told a lackey from the government that its behavior was outrageous.

A Trumpian congressman is indicted, along wth his son and extended family for insider trading. Manafort and Gates, Trump campaign experts, were shown over a weak of detailed testimony to have been even sleazier than advertised. Democrats are now thinking about running a campaign against corruption gone rampant under the nose of the man who promised to drain the swamp.

The West is aflame and the president expresses no compassion for the suffering of his fellow Americans, offers no federal aid, but tweets his criticism of the Democratically-controlled state for causing the conflagration by depriving firefighters of water by letting rivers run down to he sea.

Vice-President Pence, always the consummate toady, appears at the Pentagon to paint a glowing picture, worthy of Thomas Kinkade, of Trump’s Space Force. Yet Secretary of Defense Mattis, speaking for military planners, regards it as a wasteful, unnecessary boondoggle that would entail a costly proliferation of bureaucracy to perform fucnctions already capable of being handled by the existing services.

Fox News, widely regarded as the propaganda arm and personnel department of the Trump White House, rails daily against the vile scourge of immigrants, apparently deaf to the colossal irony. Its owner and guiding light is an Australian who saw he could make more money in England so immigrated, then saw even more opportunity in America and became a citizen allowing him do more damage to the country’s minds than all the South American and Mexican drug cartels combined.

A California democrat and businessman has decided his state and his party are getting the shaft by having only two senators, so he has put a measure on the ballot calling for California to be cut into thirds.

He isn’t wrong that the equal number of Senate seats for each state is a flaw in the Constitution. It might have made sense in 1787, but is absurd in 2018. But this remedy is inadequate.

Consider. California has a population oof 39 million people, thirteen percent of the United States. Thirteen percent of senators would be 13, not the present allotment of two nor the six this scheme would provide. So, maybe it should be carved up into six states. Of course, other large states like Texas and New York might want to get in the game.

Consider instead an alternative solution. California also has as many people as the combined total of the 23 least populous states — Wyoming, Alaska, two Dakotas, Montana, Maine, Idaho, West Virginia, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Mississippi and so on.

Perhaps, instead of more senators for California, more Californians for the rest of the country. Trump won many of those states by a few hundred thousand votes. Hillary won California by 4.2 million. If just half of that number of California Democrats moved, they could turn the map from red to blue. Heck, just 800 thousand Democrats would switch the Dakotas, Wyoming, Iowa, Alaska and Kansas. Of course, all those Californians would have to live in places like Idaho, West Virginia, Utah, and Iowa..

Similarly, 28-year-old Social-democrat Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is the new Democratic “It” girl for having won a safe Democratic seat in Queens by going father left than the Democratic incumbent. Since then, she has been traveling the country to support like-minded insurgent primary candidates. But she may be an unwitting Trojan Horse.

Far left candidates may win a few primaries in Middle American but find themselves too far out to prevail in the general. They might have the unintended effect of tuning competitive seats safely red.

The solution is for Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and their ilk to lead millions of their followers (especially those who guaranteed a Trump win by voting for Jill Stein, Bernie or Gary Johnson) from Vermont, New York, Massachusetts and California,, to the heartland where they can Make America Blue Again. When they aren’t farming or mining coal or castrating hogs, like Joni Ernst, or shooting lawyers, like Dick Cheney.
