Obama: America is not in decline, Trump lacks ‘magic wand’ to grow economy
Obama: America is not in decline, Trump lacks ‘magic wand’ to grow economy: President Obama defended his economic record on Wednesday during a visit to an Indiana city that has come to symbolize the nation’s uneven recovery, saying that he created millions of new jobs and questioning Republican Donald Trump’s ability to steer the economy in the right direction. In a far-ranging interview and town-hall event with PBS NewsHour in Elkhart, President Obama touted the economic gains seen under his watch in hard-hit counties like Elkhart, where the unemployment rate soared to nearly 20 percent soon after he took office.

How the Politics of Resentment Corrupted Wisconsin's Culture of Nice - Nexus - ZĂłcalo Public Square
How the Politics of Resentment Corrupted Wisconsin's Culture of Nice - Nexus - ZĂłcalo Public Square: The April 5 presidential primaries in Wisconsin are expected to be close in both parties, and critical to deciding the Republican contest between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. And the winners will be determined by whoever best harnesses Wisconsin’s politics of resentment. This is still a shocking thing for lifelong Wisconsinites like me. Wisconsin is not typically characterized as resentful. We are supposed to be nice—“Wisconsin nice” is a special version of Midwestern polite. But there is now some deep resentment in Wisconsin, driven by economics, and propelled into politics by savvy politicians during this decade. And now it is hitting this presidential election with full force. I am a professor at the state’s flagship public university, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and also a life-long Wisconsinite. I have been studying the politics of resentment here for the last nine years. I didn’t set out to study resentment, but it was what I found. I study public opinion, and have always …
