In Hungary, Poland, and the UK we have seen the same. Voters saw the connection between others’ corruption and their lower living standards, and they took action.

Big work lies ahead. We need to shore up our system of checks and balances.

A president with no honor exposed how much our system has assumed and relied upon a general sense of honor.

We now need to make sure the right way of doing things is enshrined in law as well as in the codes of honor.

I see your point, Git, and agree that our system needs a procedural tune up. What you might want to reconsider, however, is conflating what is going on in Europe with the political correction that we saw last night.

The prevailing vision for Europe is not E Pluribus Unum. It instead is Allahu Akbar.
