Bannon is the top trend on twitter and the Mooch is in the top five. This definitely breaks through.
A "problem" with this board, even though there are gradations of knowledge, is that it's read by people who follow politics closely. Most people don't. I couldn't name 5 top MLB pitchers or which teams are good this year, but there are many people who could recite MLB stats from memory. In fact, I justify wasting time with politics by avoiding sports and because, you know, it's actually important and it's an avenue into many other issues--law, history, sociology, demography, psychology, international relations, etc. However, most of US politics does not break through to the general public, except the occasional story. In this instance, maybe 5% of adults could give a general account of what a "skinny repeal" is, but probably 50% will note the crazy **** coming out of the WH and recognize it's a sign of real dysfunction.
