There is a huge difference between living the dream and living in a dream world when it comes to politics.

In the aftermath of the disastrous Reagan and Bush administrations, I remember talking to my friends about how this unknown candidate would help us change the world:

  • He was different than the others.
  • He was one of us, not born to privilege.
  • He spoke for the downtrodden and championed social justice.
  • He would bring back the jobs and rebuild the economy.
  • He would cut taxes for the middle class and make the rich pay their fair share.
  • He was committed to better education at every level and would create a program to guarantee a college education to everyone.
  • He would fight for tough, effective trade laws and encourage investment in research and development for emerging technologies.
  • He will create a health plan that covers everybody, while taking on the insurance companies.
  • He would put the People first.
