Rating the Facts

Not that anyone asked, but it does seem to me that Donald Trump overrates himself as an effective politician more than Merryl Streep is overrated as an effective political actress. And, while we're responding to self-glorifying tweets, perhaps we might recall that Merryl Streep can not so easily be dismissed as merely angry because her Clinton candidate lost, because in fact her candidate's public vote ratings were higher than Donald Trump's except in the Electoral College, which was originally established just in case a too-democratically uninformed public might elect a Presidential candidate who is also an egotistically unhealthy bully. So, tallying up all the politically empowering votes about actors and actresses, my numbers declare Clinton and Streep the more cooperative WinWinners, and Trump and the Electoral College the less competitive WinLosers, on a scale of what is good and wise for present and future generations, as informed by the Original Intent of past political generations.
