WILSON: Trump has no mandate; U.S. remains a divided country

By George Wilson, contributing columnist | Like a former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and the Brexit crowd, Donald Trump tapped into a large number of people who are legitimately upset over the failure of status quo governments to deal with the economic fallout from the loss of jobs to the second and third world countries.

WILSON: Perhaps Pence was trying to pick up cheap political points

By George Wilson, contributing columnist | It’s always good to look at patterns of reasoning and behavior of candidates for public office on issues. For example, Mike Pence, as governor of the state of Indiana, issued a ruling saying that he will not allow any Syrians to be placed in the state of Indiana—with federal money. So, the states receive substantial grants from the federal government to aid in the resettlement of refugees, including Syrians.

WILSON: Corporate crime fraud by healthcare companies and banks

By George Wilson, contributing columnist | From time to time you hear Republican office holders and seekers speak in generalities about excessive government regulations. However they are seldom, if ever, specific about what regulation they would do without. Wonder why? It seems to me we need more oversight of corporations not less. Recently, I have been keeping track on some of these corporate transgressions and will do so in the future.

WILSON: Can voters see through smokescreen of campaign for president?

By George Wilson, contributing columnist | The Dallas Morning News broke with more than 75 years of tradition to endorse a Democrat for president, choosing Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.

The Dallas Morning News’ editorial page is very, very conservative. It hasn’t endorsed a Democrat for president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1940. But a recent editorial went on to savage Trump:

WILSON: Looks to Democratic economic policies to signal nation’s recovery

By George Wilson | The Republican ideology-driven policy of austerity at a time of unemployment and low interest rates has been a drag on the economic recovery of the United States from the great recession that started doing the last Republican administration.

Fortunately, some Obama and Democratic inspired spending got through and a recovery of the economy has taken place. The recovery could have been faster and resulted in lower unemployment and a lower deficit if Democratic policies had been implemented fully.
