Did Gerrymandering Give Us Trump?
By Thom Hartmann A...
The past six months have barely seemed real - but the election of Donald Trump was no fluke.
It was the direct result of a Republican effort to rig our election system.
Donald Trump is an historically unpopular president.
A new ABC News/Washington Post poll has found just 36 percent of Americans approve of the job he is doing.
This is a record low for a president six months into his term.
If you're a Republican looking forward to the 2018 midterm elections this is bad, bad news.
An unpopular president usually translates into defeat at the ballot boxes... unless - of course - you've already rigged the system to make victory all but inevitable.
And rigging the system is exactly what Republicans have done.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
