My wife relayed a post to me about why the "Super" Bowl was so abysmal: neither team wanted to be invited to the White House. As if on cue: Patriots player: I won't visit White House, but it 'would be dope' to meet Obama instead (the Hill). Now that's a true Patriot!

When you concentrate power in a few places, not as much gets done and the hard problems that Americans want us to get after, like prescription drug prices, like immigration reform, like the cost of college education, you can't get those problems solved. This has led people to become very cynical about the fact that Washington doesn't work. And when you have cynicism, you elect presidents like Donald Trump.
