    On the surface of only the quote. I agree.

    If a felon was in the White House, I think we’d finally see some genuine prison reform, and if we’re lucky, for profit prisons being outlawed.

    Can you imagine a Danny Trejo type in the White House? Someone who deeply cares that prison is reformative and not punishment?

    But not Donny Felon. He’s just going to commit more crimes.

      God I would vote for Trejo. I’m not sure it would work well in the end. I’m not sure he could manage to do the proper negotiations to get anything useful done. But it would be one hell of a statement.

        Considering roughly half of Congress currently is strongly AGAINST getting anything done, much useful. Their entire plan is to stop everything and blame the other side.

        The worst part is it’s working :(
